Quote of the Day #3 ~ Education
...I could not help receiving the impression that I was being cheated out of something. Out of what I knew not, yet I did not believe that twelve years of unrelieved boredom was exactly what the state had in mind for me.Hmmm, this is probably exactly what the state had/has in mind...Scout in To Kill A Mockingbird, Harper Lee, 1960, page 37 in the 1982 Popular Library Edition
Given the structure of the education school systems in the US those who are not afflicted with boredom must be the small exception.
