The classroom they say

is an open space 

to share opinions and ideas

while you learn.

But what they don't tell you

is that you are judged

based on each idea

opinion

statement

and question.

The teachers don't let you say what you want

and students don't attempt 

for fear of being wrong.

But how can it be wrong

if it is your idea

opinion

statement

or question?

Why is it okay to judge someone 

based on what goes on in their mind, 

for vocalizing their thoughts,

in a safe space like a 

classroom.
