I'm a product of Catholic School to! Except after the "Pointer Sisters and their equivalent in priests" retired we were left with the following:

I loved school until I hit 5th grade and they introduced the concept of "homework" to me and recess was cut down to one a day, if you were lucky.

Then I started to like it again in junior high/high school, as finally they taught stuff I didn't already know (sometimes).-

School was a bore and was taught at too slow of a pace. So to alleviate the boredom and pick up the pace I became the class clown. But didn't work all the time since I ended up camping out in the vice principal's office at least 2-3 times a week. And that was a lot more painful type of boredom than what a class clown could endure.

At the end of her kindergarten year, my cousin decided that they had wasted enough of her time and she was done. Her mother told her she had 16 years more to go before she was done (13 of grade school and high school, 4 years of college). My cousin, who was only allowed to stop doing an activity after the session she had originally signed up for was finished) replied, " Well, if I had known it would be that long, I never would have started!"

Cheer up Connor and don't worry! Why, you'll be growing up in a country where there are no schools! Where people are proud to do subsistence farming and share-cropping! Where everyone keeps in top shape by riding bicycles to work for their 80 hour weeks! Where there is no money (weell, some money but it's all worthlessly inflated, kid) and barter is the rule! And you won't have to worry about buying your own home either, Connor, because you'll be living in an abandoned factory dorm, if you're lucky that is!

Yes, Connor, welcome to Third World USA, the real Cheney/Bush Legacy!
