Q in .JQQQ '1 A i H' Hx Boy, school is a real pain! Yea man, I know what you mean. I have to get up at 7:00 in the morning just to warm up the car. But you know, I've been doing some research for a project on the history of education. Two- hundred years ago, kids our age had to get up at dawn just to do their chores. On top of that, they didn't even have radios, televisions, or stereos. Could you imagine trying to study without music? My dad is always telling me not to complain about riding the bus and he brings up that moldy oldy story about walking five miles to school everyday. If he really wants to make me feel bad, he sticks in the little fact that he didn't even have a car until he graduated from college. My parents tell the same tear-jerkers at our dinner table, too. I don't know how much of it to take seriously, but I do know that we all have it a lot easier than the students and teenagers before us. mlltlfllfiill cl I xii x 'X ,f ,' 'X tx..
