06/12/02 10:58 PM: last day of school

No more school. Ever. Well, until August, I suppose. Anyway, I talked to my ninth grade English teacher for a while today after school. He was ranting about how they changed the curriculum and made A Separate Peace, which he despises, a required book. So he came up with a plan. Apparently the book is number twelve on some list of the top 100 gay and lesbian books. So he figured if he teaches it next year as an exploration of gay and lesbian literature, it won’t be long before somebody tells him he can’t teach the book anymore. Genius, I say. I doubt he will actually do it, but it’s a hell of an idea.
