I thought that the first 10, the Bill of Rights, didn’t count as amendments because they were the original document?

My students already have six day school weeks, and the school controls nearly every aspect of your life here. The teachers come to your home to “check” on the students – which is weird, because across the country, despite these home “checks,” children are still being bullied to death.

You are 100% right that group thought is very important here, but it is sometimes more subtle than we think of it. I mean, they aren’t unthinking robots, but their lives definitely have well-defined paths that are laid out for them to follow.
