Many of the entries, I admit, mentioned the boredom students felt at school, the mistrust of the need for endless drills and memorization; but they all seemed to get around to a common theme: optimism. One journal entry by my student, Julian, stated: “Public education is, of course, for students to get smart, to graduate, and to finish college.
