School is essentially a control environment -- to keep urchins off the street -- and education is a happenchance. But I liked knowledge at school, and I met teachers who liked to teach.<br /><br />As a freak, I tried to appreciate other freaks. I strived to understand why they behaved as they did. I eventually comprehended that all of the rest are just like me. And possibly more screwed than me. <br />Phil Beesleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18442987962398498812noreply@blogger.com
