The Suffragettes

       Mr. Neck gave us an extra credit opportunity after most of the class flunked the exam. I decided to write about suffragettes. I wrote an amazing report; stating that before the suffragettes came along, women were treated like they were not alive, they only worked like robots. I wrote about how they kept fighting until they were finally given their rights.  It was obviously the best report I had written, and I handed it in on time. Mr. Neck certainly wants me to fail the grade, or wants me to have to go to summer school. He said I had to present it infront of the class, something he had not mentioned before.

      I refused to present. I got David Petrakis to help me plan my presentation. We had great ideas. I got to class early and got everything ready. Mr. Neck said I could go first. I grabbed my report, turned around, and removed the poster hiding words on the board. My report was to be given to the class silently. Each student would read the report on their own while I just stood in front.

     Mr. Neck didn't like it. Although it was a very well written report he gives me a D and takes me to MISS. I take a trip to Principal Principal's office as well as the counselor's. They  should not be allowed to punish me for staying silent. They don't know what I've been through. Also, Mr. Neck said I had to present it, not that it HAD to be done orally or else I'd fail. I should ask David where he got his lawyer. I should get one too.
