   Like so many other kids, Red takes school for granted. Sure, it’s nice to have vacation and breaks. But if there was no school, there would be no education. You wouldn’t be able to learn things, maybe not even know how to read and write and count. And that just sounds awful. For 3000 years, hardly anyone except the elite got to learn how to read. And in many countries, that’s true even to this day.

   When I was younger, I loved being off from school, and I didn’t like it, when the summer vacation was over. But when I was back in school, I still enjoyed most classes, because I love to learn stuff. And with the years, I’ve come to more and more appreciate how lucky I am, that I live in Sweden, where no one has questioned my rights to go to elementary school, middle school and high school. I even studied at a junior college for three years. In many countries, most kids, especially girls, can’t get a proper education. And even in the Western world, it wasn’t too long ago, that going even to High School was a luxury. My parents only had seven years of basic education (even though they both went to vocational schools later).

   Okay, this became a minor essay, but I just wanted to say this.

   it seems we are habitual individuals.
   we get into a rhythm…

   with year-round school, we would graduate
   from highschool about the time puberty starts…

   our bodies, and nature, tell us we are ready
   to become parents in our early teens…

   our societies tend to supress just about every aspect
   in and of life. lots of hurry up to wait…

   even with all of the technology that is available,
   kids are bored in summer after a couple of weeks off,

   l don’t want to piss anyone off, or at least not on this, child/parent understanding, but, if you get a consensus
   by way of these comicstrip waves, the last month seemed
   devoted to how kids are getting on parents’ nerves toward
   the end of summer. rather awkward, from here…
