'Organizing high school students is extremely difficult. Apart from being an impermanent base, they are inexperienced and often politically uninformed. Their disconnectedness and isolation – easily caricatured as pouty alienation or angst – are rooted in the realities of their lives.'

When I read this, my understanding of the point is:
It is a complaint about students being difficult to organize into "influence groups."
Several possible reasons are given.
- They flow through the system quickly - preventing a core group from bonding into an association with possible political influencial powers.
- They lack understanding of the powers that can be achieved using political group "single voice."
- Because they are isolated and not organized - they are disconnected from a main body.
- The perception of them by others is they are sullen and angry individuals.
- They are focused entirely upon their own personal interests, (not interested in forming a collective).

The silly post.
An introduction of mirth into study can make the exercise more interesting.
Some one had a question about "luck."
Creatively, I thought, I offered several lines or "ditty" which illustrated many uses of the word "luck" as it would be used in normal conversation. Sometimes this can assist in a person "getting it" more easily.
It seems my good intention may not have been.
I apologize if I offended anyone.
