I don't understand the kids who say they had a good experience there.
Except, of course, I do.
It was designed for them. Kids with houses, kids with educated parents and books on shelves. White collar kids. Kids from families I'd today label "petty bourgeois".
Yet it has to require selective amnesia to overlook the ways those teachers behaved. Lectures in favor of the war in Vietnam. Goosing. Denigration of parents. Favorable nods toward the John Birch Society.
This was a good experience? What would a bad one have been?
Easy answer. An entire school of kids like me.
