These walls that you've built around us, they haven't nurtured us.
They've trapped us inside! We-we-we show up here,
day after day, after day, after day,
in our blazers and our ties and our dress shirts and fancy shoes
like we're walking out of a fucking J.Crew catalogue,
gilded in our own austerity!
Why is that?! That's not cool.
That's very uncool.
You're supposed to excite us, entice us, distract us! Come on, man!
You gotta bring it each and every day and you don't.
Jesus Christ, you don't.
Instead, you walk these halls looking for someone to penalize.
And for what? What's the purpose of that?
For wearing a skirt that's a couple of inches too short?
You don't stimulate ingenuity, you don't create growth.
You fabricate these mindless 'droids with hollow centres,
and you do it again year after year. You abrogate responsibility.
And it's this national crisis, that people all over asking themselves:
Is it the home that's at fault, or is it the school that's at fault?
I don't know.
I say that it's the whole mix of who we are and the classroom
that's supposed to help us decide who we wanna be.
Maybe I'm just crazy, right?
And a puffin?
A puffin? Who's the genius who is behind that idea?
Our motto is: Fly Above All Else.
A puffin is a low-flying bird.
That doesn't make any sense!
So to address your previous request,
I'm not going to give you those names
so you can punish those kids further,
'cause you're already doing a perfectly fine job at that.
