Sic Semper Tyrannis

Homework Sucks

I'm currently reading _Great Expectations._ Here's a passage where Dickens could have just written "I wasn't good at school." But there's no ART in that!

"I struggled through the alphabet as if it had been a bramble-bush; getting considerably worried and scratched by every letter. After that, I fell among those thieves, the nine figures, who seemd every evening to do something new to disguise themselves and baffle recognition. But, at last I began, in a purblind groping way, to read, write, and cipher, on the very smallest scale."
