Again and Again and Again

Again and again and again, we repeat ourselves. We say the same shit. We do the same shit. And then we reiterate.

My son attended the laboratory school of the Graduate School of Education at UCLA for eight years. "Pre-K" and Kindergarten and...well, in non-nurturing how-are-you-feeling-over-what-have-you-learned schools, you'd say Grades 1 through 6. Not so simple in Quasi Enlightened cum Politically Correct developmental-slash-academic...
