As I read the paper he wrote about quotes for his American History teacher and the comments she made on his paper, I thought of my own students who choose to write what they want instead of what I assign. I loved reading how this kid's mind worked. The letters to the principal, his attorney uncle are absolutely hilarious. ![]() When Thaddeus ends up in ISS, sentenced there for the rest of the year, he starts planning his case, just like a lawyer would. I kept asking myself what kind of man this kid would grow up to be with all of the energy he had. Images courtesy of publishers, organizations, and sometimes their Twitter handles.
