School is linear - Adam's message

School is linear and the sole purpose is to make you one of the crowd, one of the many same faces. They do not promote us to be unique enough as the Arts are looked down upon on an educational stand point. Just look at how ATAR scoring works and how everything linear and boring may be the key to running this world but Art is the key of finding yourself.

Adam Louis, 15

thanks to my friend Rich who placed and photographed this cup whilst I was busy a thte Footscray Pop-up school which you can see in the background.
