I loved school when I was a child. Not because I learned new stuff, academics were usually boring. I loved the daily chllenge of debating with my teachers and finding ways to prove the wrong answers right.
My teachers either loved or hated me there was no in between.
We were also at the bottom of the financial scale.
~NE one remember having to turn in the pink lunch tickets instead of the green ones everyone else had.
I begged my parents every day to pack my lunch. I had to refuse to eat school lunches for almost week before they finally gave in.
If you did not eat your lunch at our school you had to sit in the lunch room until you decided to eat. I sat in the lunchroom all day, for 4 days in a row and refused to eat one bite. My parents finally got tired of the phone calls! hehe
Be glad you did'nt have to raise me, I was only in 1st grade at the time.
