This is a powerful piece from a student run poetry group, Read Nex Poetry Club, Kingston High School. Two of my students participated in the video and I believe it shows the power of the home language. These students have so much to say yet I know first hand that one of my students in the group is failing her English 12 class at home school. It makes you think about what Micheal Stubb's has to say about the hierarchy of language that many of my students have unfortunately become victims of.
