    Imagine bullying someone because they read a book.

    They should be thankful the school didn’t punish the class for not doing the assignment.

      Imagine bullying someone because they read a book.

      Because anon was different. He was the only one who read the book. That’s why.

      I was home schooled,* and occasionally I wish I had gone to public school, because I missed out on a lot of cultural touchstones, but then I’m reminded that kids are fucking horrible to other kids at any sign of differentness, and I was a fat, nerdy, gay bookworm, so, yeah, I’m good with the way things shook out. Haha

      *Got a great education, not a religious nutjob, was not raised by right wing zealots.

        Home schooled kids on average are smarter. Public schools tend to lower their standards to get a certain percentage of students to pass.

        Plus I bet your teacher was hot.

          Considering half the home schooled kids are kept for indoctrination and/or abuse purposes, I doubt it.
