I feel like in a perfect world, a kid as dedicated as you ought to have more of a voice in the city.

Kids in our school system need to be up to date on all the developments happening in the city.

High Schools ought to have developers clubs 🤔

Of course, our schools would have to actually give a fuck first. Can't expect kids to want to stay after school when you can't even provide a decent meal for em.

Craziest thing is that we've had the same business administrator for around 20 years now, Valerie Wilson...

But it gets crazier, back in the 00s MTV recorded a documentary following high school kids.

One of the kids was from Newark Science, and had a HUGE issue with the lunch being served. Valerie came in as the school business administrator and made a big show to say she'd figure it out.

~20 years later in 2018, I met with her as a kid from the same school, and had the same exact complaints, (unknowing of her past record) she gave me the same spill as the other kid and promised that I'd see changes in the lunch programme.

I'm not the first to shit on administrators, but c'mon. School catering contracts don't last 20 years
