To Marley and Jeffrey

Traditional school is not easy for a "free range" learner like Marley- nor a student like Jeffrey who is moved from a small class in a contained classroom with three teachers, to a class with many more classmates meeting in many different class rooms with many different teachers.
I remember Joyce saying they take children when they are already "crazy" and put them all in a middle school. (middle school classes can get rowdy)
In both cases it's future shock!
I bet that in thirty days from now both Marley and Jeffrey will have a place where they can learn.
"Tomorrow, tomorrow, it's only a day away."
I remember crying during study hall every night at St. Scholastica. The only reason I never called Mom and Dad to tell them I wanted to come back to Olpe, is that I knew they would be disappointed.
Bless teachers and students everywhere.
