You see, I would argue that Riley is a metaphor for all kids, and I think dropping out of school comes in many different forms -- to the senior who's checked out before the year's even begun or that empty desk in the back of an urban middle school's classroom.
Se, jeg vil sige, at Riley er en metafor for alle børn, og jeg mener, det at droppe ud af skolen kommer i mange former - fra sidsteårs-eleven, der checkede ud før året overhovedet begyndte, eller den tomme plads bagerst i en urban folkeskoles klasseværelse.
