Times have changed
Here Jim Peron describes his experience of trying to deliver a lecture on political economics to an American high school class. It raised my eyebrows. Does anybody know how this would compare to a NZ high school?
I'm 9 years out of HS. No way would that happen at home.
On the other hand, school reception staff are every bit as f*cked up! It seems to be a universal law. And I know exactly which of his expressions Jim would have had on his face. :)
