ReplyTo a comment on School (a sonnet) by Nicholas Jones.

Yes, I think the end is too melodramatic. Originally it was where children 'cry', not die, which in retrospect I should have stuck with. But the point is that the school system is designed to stifle individuality and lots of kid suffer terrible trauma, and that's something that needs to be written about.
