It's just not that hard to get education into kids' hands, without it being necessarily sitting in a classroom and writing the letter A out 30 times on this particular day of the week, and then writing the letter B 30 times on the next day of the week, and learning to read it only the prescribed rate, which is too fast for some kids and too slow for others.
I wish I had felt empowered, through language, to be unashamed of my family and of myself.
I love to study my own stuff.
