why? I remember them anyway, not only mine btw as we also had to volunteer later as middle school students and I was sent to do so in a pre-school(horrors. also one can't do much as it's very hard to question authority there also being middle school student on somebody else's turf)-and it was very interesting to learn where our early childhood institutions belonged on some scale-I-previously-had-little-idea-about. good post
