Life in These Boarding Schools part 2:

 

If you are a teacher who has slaved over student comments, you have undoubtedly wondered if your division head really reads each and every comment.

Waiting in waiting rooms or hanging out at my toyless grandmother’s house when I was growing up, I used to read a few columns in the old Reader’s Digest magazines. Life in These United States was a favorite, and if my memory is not too foggy, I am pretty certain there was one about life in the military.

 

Having lived at boarding schools, I am convinced that there are legions of anecdotes for a hilarious collection of Life in These Boarding Schools. I recognize that there would need to be chapters entitled “These happened prior to our society becoming litigious” or “WARNING:  Don’t read if you are planning on sending your child to boarding school,” but those of who have lived or live the life deserve the collection uncensored.
