"I just want to do what I do and you should pass me for doing nothin" "I should pass you for doing nothing and not coming to class?" "Yeah, cuz I'm just gonna do what I do, walk de halls."

I'm speechless

I can’t understand why Auddie, the 17-year-old 9th grader who won’t go to class, even bothers to show up ever, at all.

The teacher talking about why the state doesn’t take over the schools even though they’ve been threatening for years - “I don’t think they have any solutions either.”

"[My father] he know where I live at and all that, but he just choose not to see me. That's just the way it is. You look in this school, there's 1000 other kids with just the same situation."

Sad.
