What did you learn in school today? I learned that I'm no good. Who told you that? The teacher. Don't believe it! Don't believe it. If I can't believe the teacher, why do I have to go to school? Because if you don't, I will be punished. Isn't there a place where we can live where I don't have to go to school, and you will not be punished? No. Then the world is no good. Tell that to the teacher.
