Thank you. And I get the SP reference. As a teacher , I could reach the boys to men guys. I’m from Brooklyn. I’m Italian. I was tracked in high school as the lowest track with guys on the football team’s offensive line who asked me if football was one word or two! But now I sit on the sidelines and it is frustrating.
So , yes, those boys don’t read. The essay is written so you and my readers can sit down with a kid and say. “hey, listen to this, dude.” Asked the guy, “Is this writer talking about you? Is he calling you out for falling for the scam? did you fall for the bs?”
Maybe they listen to someone like you.
