Recap !
Miss Roldan's class - 8th grade
The song "Another Brick in the Wall” by Pink Floyd shows/describes/depicts a very strict school in the 1970s. Today/Nowadays, school is different: not perfect, but not so extreme/it isn’t so strict anymore. Some students think school is boring, but in my opinion it is useful because we learn important things for our future. School can be strict sometimes, but it also gives us freedom and teaches us respect.
