Chapter 6: Advice for Teachers from High School Students

The part of this chapter that stands out the most is where Vance says that finishing school is like a rite of passage into adulthood (103).

The interesting part of this statement is that getting through school is a sign of maturity. Finishing school is a sign that the student is an adult, and what teen doesn't want to be considered an adult? This passage shows that kids have all different reasons for wanting to get through school, and they are not always the typical reasons.
