The teachers do not know l have no idea; of anything they are talking about.
I don't wanna listen to anyone,especially the teachers. They are giving homework and expecting me to
do the problems on my own. I have never done homework in my life.I go to the bathroom, look in the
mirror and say: 'This is not Michael Oher’ ”
