   Paper’s in remarkable shape considering how old it must be. This is Robert Smith’s, right? From high school? Which means it traveled here from England, as well.

   Dumbasses, this is written from the perspective of an enslaved African person. I’m not necessarily saying it’s the best-written thing ever but it also ain’t just angsty goth drivel. The end talks about the “slavers” being “flies with muscats [muskets] and tobacco, powerful little white flies.” It’s some deep shit.

     I quit reading long before the end because it reads exactly like “angsty goth drivel”.

   “Ink please” and a grade (cut off at the top), both written over the student’s words, but no spelling or grammar corrections, encouragement or instruction. Thanks, “teach”. Retire now so someone who actually _wants_ and _deserves_ your job can have it.

     Maybe it wasn’t an English class?
