When You Are Oppressed, Or Ten Weighty Reasons for Teenagers and Their Parents

[Feanor of the Peredhil]

What if The BD is offered as kind of 'additional reading' stuff to be done by the class?

Brilliant suggestion. I tried to get the 'Downs involved in my Tril class last year (LotR Trilogy class...), but my teacher wouldn't take me seriously.

No flaming or rudeness allowed here.

Too true. Parents should appreciate the fact that in my *quick thinking* year and a half on this site, I've come across perhaps two things that offended me, and both were dealt with very quickly by our Higher Ups. How many other web-based forums can boast the same? Most others fly off-topic in the second post of a thread, never to return again. So besides learning all of the things previously listed, we 'Downers learn to stick to the task presented. And I might add, isn't that one of the things parents like kids in school to know how to do?
