I have been incredibly bored by school since day one. We use to read aloud as a class in elementary school and I would get bored and annoyed at the verbal stumbling of my class mates and would read ahead silently.

The narrator of the book describes an English teacher, Mr. Blessington, with whom many of the students have an issue.

The teacher had actually told the children that most of the boys are going to end up in prison and the girls will end up as prostitutes.
