The setting

Give me a small clean room. Room enough for 11 or 12 kids. The floor is green tiles. The walls are a muted yellow. The tables are oblong with fake wood veneer. There is a round wooden veneer table near the door. The chairs are green plastic but they all match. I have access to the heating and cooling system. There is a whiteboard on one wall. I let them sit where they want. It is peacful. The lights are muted. The regular classrooms are bright and white. White tables. Bright light. It feels different in here. I have 3 tall bookshelves. There are no books. Instead they have become places to keep stacks of writing paper. Folders. Assignments. Pencils and pens. The books will come. The setting has an effect. It creates the ambiance. "In here we is stoned. Immaculate."
