"...In Calormen, story-telling (whether the stories are true or made up) is a thing you're taught, just as English boys and girls are taught essay-writing. The difference is that people want to hear the stories, wherease I never heard of anyone who wanted to read the essays."
-C.S. Lewis, 1954, _The Horse and His Boy_ (page 32 in my copy)

I'm sure that, looking back years from now, I'll be really grateful for everything that I've learned in high school.

But until then, I reserve my right to gripe ;-)!
