Hi School...



So, Jean Orvis, one of the founders of the highschool attended by your Sotaboys retired this year and she left a pretty big legacy if you think about it. Which eye have been and this is what eye have to say in a nutshell:
SAAS was alot of things to alot of people, eye personally felt about it the way most kids feel about school...who needs it for anything other than having a congregation of friends, fuck that whole classical thinking-factory like-cogs-in-the-machine-work for the sake of working type life....sorry ma. But all things considered, it was an eclectic mix of artistic, smart, and good hearted people who champion science, literature and philosophy as well as visual, musical, and performance art- so eye cant knock it too tough. Its the kind of place that allowed the growth and individual acceptance of unity and community and it fostered some genius for sure, dont believe me, come hang out with some of us. ;) One such example eye came across the other day summed it up for me, despite all the bullshit of a private school; racial (see economic) disparity, preferential treatment, materialistic, spoiled children, etc...kids like these are molded and a passionate intelligence is fostered. This is just one video but eye think it sums up the positive side of a school like ours. This youngster is speaking the language of philosophers, dreamers, and innovators and you can tell hes comfortably fluent. Keep teaching us the words so we can spread em like jam. jam on.
