"Okay did everyone do their essays?" Peter asked the next day. Everyone was on time for once, and since they hadn't done much yesterday, almost everyone looked awake, or at least alive. He didn't get a very verble answer, just a few mumbles but since no one said 'no' then he took it as every had.
"I'm just going to go in seating order, alright?" he said. "Sure!" Cole exclaimed. "Easy for you to say, you're one of the last ones!" Sam mumbled as he stood up reluctantly. "First say your topic, and if anyone is offended they can wait outside."
"It's on adoption and it's consequences of splitting up families." Sam explained. No one got up.
"I think that the adoption people shouldn't split up families, especially after going through something like me and my brother, Roger, did. That's wrong and it ruins kids' lives. That's all really. Sorry Peter." Sam mumbled. "It's fine, Sam. Very good, but if you could, could you explain yourself a little more tonight?" Sam nodded and sat down.
Mark stood up. "It's on foster families. Foster families should only take in kids they know about. If the kid has had a bad past that might make them angry and the family doesn't know it, the family thinks the kid is just a trouble maker. So, they move it around, home after home. Because of this the kid will be even more screwed than before." Mark sat down just as quickly as he had said all that.
Before Peter could say anything, Kristin stood up. "I think they should ban Avril-" Peter interupted, "Kristin..." he warned. "Peter you didn't give any restrictions." She pointed out. He rolled his eyes and motioned for her to go on. "I think they should ban Avril Lavigne. I know I'm not punk, but at least I'm not a poser. I think she bashes popstars because she's trying to cover up her own pop image. And..uhh, I kind of fell asleep so I didn't get to finish it," Kristin said with a sheepish look. "Just finish it later," Peter said.
Riley stood up. "I think they should ban prescription pills. Sure it makes people feel better but lots of times they get addicted and then its the family that suffers just as much as the person was without them. Plus the child lock doesn't really work." he mumbled and sat down. Peter could actually relate to Riley's essay.
Katie stood up. "It's about guys." Peter raised an eyebrow as Riley stood up. "I object!" he whined. She gave him a death glare and he sunk back down mumbling, "err..Never mind!"
"I think guys should be banned because 99.9 percent of them are total..Jerks. Whoops, gotta scratch that word out. THey think they know everything and anything but really they have no idea. And-" she looked up, "and..and that's all," she mumbled and sat down quickly.
Next was Nikki but she didn't stand up. "Nikki, could you please read your essay?" Peter asked. She was gonna say something smart but decided against it and stood up reluctantly. "All guy teachers should be banned." Nikki mumbled. Everyone quieted and turned to look at Peter, who didn't seem fazed. "Because they're usually sexist, and violent. And they suck." she said and sat down.
She looked to see if Peter was getting angry but he was just giving her a curious look. It was Liz's turn. She didn't speak for a minute then finally said, "I think they should ban religion." Katie burst out, "I agree!" and Peter gave her a look of 'disapointment'. Or something.
"I think they should ban religion because it makes parents go crazy. You mess up once and they run off." She looked at Peter. "You didn't say a length so..." she trailed off. "That's fine," Peter said.
Cole stood up. "Um, I want to ban essays..Because I kind of didn't do it.." he said, turning red. Everyone laughed a little. "Nice, Cole. You have kitchens tonight alright?" Peter said. He nodded and sat down. Benji stood up reluctantly. "I wish we could ban Eminem."
Sam, Mark, Katie and Kristin stood up. "We take offense to that!" and started to walk out but stopped in step when they saw Peter's 'death look'. "Ooh..that means sit down." Katie mumbled and they all sat down but Sam. "You said we could leave if we wanted. And we want to!" he protested. "I meant for something like religion, Sam!" he snapped. Sam rolled his eyes and sat down so Benji went on.
"He turns people against people. He raps about violent things for no reason. I think he should be banned to stop violence." "That's bull!" Sam exclaimed. "Sam! Wood. Ben, that's good are you done?"
Benji nodded and mumbled, "it's Benji."
