Oh memories! I had really good experiences with public schools in the seventies and eighties.

We played Star Wars. I was like Princess Leia's sister, and darth Vader's cousin threw me face down on the asphalt. It looked like I had a plum on my head...big, round, bright purple. My mother had to take me to the hospital, but nothing was wrong except that it looked like I had a plum on my head.

I was good in math so I got to skip it to be a cafeteria worker. Extra chocolate milk on Fridays. I got to serve jello and salad. Hot stuff no, except I was good enough to do the green beans. One day too many adults were missing...I got to do the mashed potatoes. I was king of the world. Couldm't wipe the grin off my face as I ladled away!
