I'm David and today is my first day of 

school. I don't like going to school! Why do 

we need an education?! My mom told me 

that children were required to go to school 

between 1860 and 1890. That's so stupid!!

My best friend, Donald hid in the basement of a 

warehouse because he didn't want to go to 

school. 

My younger sister, Amy complained this 

morning about going to Kindergarten. I asked 

my mom why Amy had to go to Kindergarten 

and she said that because more kids are going. 

She said that in 1880, only 200 kids were in 

Kindergarten and now there are 3,000 in 1900.

My sister, Carrie is in High School and she told 

me that there are 15.5 million kids in High 

School.

Today, we got a new student, she speaks 

Spanish. I talked to her, but I could not 

understand her. Her name is Anastasia and I 

think we are now friends.

Anastasia told me that her mother goes to 

night school since they are immigrants. She 

goes to night school so they she could learn 

English and qualify for American citizenship.

One day my sister Carrie was at school, in 

English, they were writing up practice essays 

and her teacher said that between 1880 and 

1920, the enrollments in   college have 

quadrupled.

One day at home, Carrie filled out an 

application for the University of Northern Iowa. 

On the application, it said that to apply, you 

have to have a high school diploma. Lucky for 

my sister, she will have one soon!
