Byzantine Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 (edited) A few years ago, I wrote a paper for class. Yesterday, I looked it over and found that it contained some rather fierce and harsh detraction. However, it's in my writing folder at school. I do not have permission to remove it. Is this one of those instances when I can do it anyway or should I just leave it there and destroy it when I get the folder after this year when I graduate? The chances of anyone reading it are rather slim, I think. Edited September 10, 2011 by Byzantine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AccountDeleted Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Can you ask for permission to take it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Byzantine Posted September 10, 2011 Author Share Posted September 10, 2011 Well, she told us we could remove drafts. When I asked about taking other stuff, she said no. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luigi Posted September 10, 2011 Share Posted September 10, 2011 Don't worry about it - you say that the chances of anyone else reading it are very slim. One reason teachers require students to keep a portfolio/writing folder is so that you (the writer) can see your own development - as a writer, as a thinker, as a person - over the course of the projects. The portfolio/writing folder has been successful for you, at least to the extent that you can see (now) how harsh you were (then) - you've grown as a person and would no longer write that sort of detraction. When you get the whole writing folder back, you can pitch the offending piece, or you can keep it as a private reminder of how far you've come.
