Schooled is about a high school student named Capricorn (Cap) Anderson. He has lived on a farming commune all of his life with his grandmother, Rain. He has long hair, wears hemp clothes, homemade sandals, and practices tai chi on the front lawn. Cap has been homeschooled his whole life, so he has never watched television, never eaten pizza, and doesn’t even know what a wedgie is! One day, Rain falls out of a tree while picking plums; she breaks her hip, and has to stay in the hospital until it heals. Since Cap isn’t old enough to stay on the farm by himself, he has to temporarily live with his social worker, and go to REAL school!! What do you think will happen next? For extra credit, make a prediction about what you think will happen to Cap. It must be submitted before midnight tonight or you will not receive credit. This is a fantastic book for both dudes and chicks that will hold your attention until the end! Anybody who passes up the opportunity to read this book is missing out on a TON of real life experiences and characters. I'll try to pick up a copy of Schooled this weekend, but I'm not making any promises! Check your local library; they'll probably have a copy there.
Peace, Love, and Reading!

Hmmm....lemme see...Cap ends up going to a school and has no idea how to handle himself in an environment with people his own age He may end becoming his own friend and the kids won't be the nicest apple in the bunch. That being said I think in the end all the kids will learn to love each other by the influence of a non-pizza eating, sandle making, peace necklace wearing, farming boy who grew up with his grammy! ;]
