- <giggle> This reminds me of the time I got sent to the
- principal for being a ***communist***.
-
- I had committed the heinous crime of chewing gum in
- class. I don't even remember which class but it was in
- 7th or 8th grade. I got assigned the good ole 500 words
- on the thrilling topic "Why I should not chew gum in class".
-
- I wrote (basically) that I should not chew gum as my fellow
- students might get distracted and thus not become scientists and
- so the Russian students (sans gum chewing disruptors like
- me) would get ahead in the Space Race.
-
- The treasonous nature of my essay was made very clear to
- me by the principal. I really thought it was amazingly
- idiotic and so did my parents (thank goodness).
-
- I am always amazed at people who had good public school
- experiences. Sad to say, the people I know with the best
- educations all went to private schools.
