Prompt 2:Suspend your rationale thinking for a moment, and imagine that the place you all know best involving established authority - school - is suddenly without teachers, Ms. Nadeau, etc. for an extended period of time (think weeks). What would happen?

I believe what would happen is authority would first be figured out like in the book.  From this would become groups or society's.  The cool kids there the not-so cool kids there and so on.  But eventually, structure will break down along with society and people will get angry, hungry, etc.  Since we are not adults we would not think things through until its wrong and we've done it.  What would not happen is people trying to rebuild the education and learning part of school.
