It seems pretty in vogue lately to complain about schools, and the current state of our learning institutions.<\/p>\n

I’ve certainly done my fair share of complaining.<\/p>\n

Chances are, at some point, you have too.<\/p>\n

Anyhow, my sister is a teacher, and I’ve become friends with a bunch of teachers, and I think they<\/em> know it’s not perfect too. \u00a0I’m also pretty sure any system large enough will eventually draw complaints for one thing or another. \u00a0Nothing is perfect.<\/p>\n

But for all my griping, complaining, and whining throughout school, I’m still glad I did it. \u00a0I still think it made me a better person than I would have been without it.<\/p>\n

This comic by Stuart McMillen<\/a> reminded me of that, and I thought I’d share it.<\/p>\n

Enjoy.<\/p>\n
