Many of the high school students’ comments in Kathleen Cushman’s Fires in the Bathroom caused me to feel various emotions. While numerous stories caught my attention, Tiffany’s story of her teacher discriminating against a homosexual student in front of the class jumped out at me the most. She told about how a boy was putting on lip-gloss in class and the teacher made a comment about it. This resulted in the boy’s classmates laughing at him (Cushman, 30).
Tiffany’s story made me feel very angry. Teachers should not be biased toward any student. If they have an opinion on a student they need to keep it private and focus on treating all students the same. Teachers should not discriminate or make fun of students at all, let alone in front of an entire class.

5/5 well done QR and I totally agree with what you had to say.
PS Be sure to italicize "Fires in the Bathroom" in this entry like you did in the Chapter 1 entry.
