    Agnes needs something concrete to not focus on.

    School is not a place for a kid with an imagination. It’s designed more for those who will listen and then repeat back on a test what they were told, never to need the info again for the rest of their lives. (No, I was not a good student. But at least I know how to work a slide rule, which has served me well all my life.)

    I agree. College graduates leave school with crushing debt and perhaps no marketable tools. Being able to work with your hands and imagination is in high demand because few can do it. What happened to shop in high schools? Is it still taught?

    Apparently this reacher can’t solve anything for her students. Just sends them to the principal’s office.

    These meta-distractions are making it difficult to concentrate on my primary distractions…..
