Overview

Gerry sought to avoid visibility in the classroom and never volunteered answers even when he knew them. Jenny filled her homework with cartoons and sketches, but rarely correct answers. Malcolm hated math but loved to leap over things and climb them. He was in danger of failing a grade. Peter did well in school but when he was teamed up with Gerry, Jenny and Malcolm for a school project, something clicked and he knew that he would rather work with them than anything. They wondered if there might be a better way to learn than in school but perhaps that may be a very dangerous question to ask with people like dour and traditional Vice Principal McDale around. Genius may not be teachable, but perhaps sometimes it can develop spontaneously in the most unlikely places, and when it does, it can become contagious -- but fear of such an epidemic may bring about seriously dire consequences.

Author Information

K. Titchenell was a victim of public school but, after some years of recovery, managed nonetheless to find delight in real education and went on to teach at various times English, Computer Science, German, Music Theory and Composition, Aikido, Mathematics, and Poetry/Songwriting. The Titchenell family homeschooled/unschooled their children. Though K. Titchenell holds a number of academic degrees and certifications, these are utterly irrelevant as the classroom is rarely where real learning takes place. Also by K.
