Went back to the old high school for my first high school reunion. I must admit, it was a bit of a disorienting experience. For one thing, I didn't think I'd remembered anything about those years except a vague sense of hideous unhappiness and a fear of fluorescent lighting. But when they handed me my reunion loot bag, I found it contained not only a swell luggage tag but a pen and some post-it notes, and that gave me an idea.
So here it is: a brief history of my time in post-elementary education.
