Annotations:
What if going to school had to be kept a secret? There are many reasons learning has had to be hidden. Students have been denied the ability to speak their own language, to learn about their culture, or banned from learning if they were a girl! Secret schools have been needed throughout history so students can learn without fear of oppression.
