Daily Complaints

Every day in middle school was the same for me. I’m not just talking about the unbearable repetition. My routine was becoming too predictable. Every single day after school, I complained. It was always the same complaint. “School is getting in the way of my learning.”

I still had a lot to learn about the schools, but I honestly felt that I knew more about schooling and education than most people. Of course, that doesn’t take much. Most people spend their entire lives without learning the difference between schooling and education. I knew in middle school.
