One concept developed in colonial New England to address the problem of providing to all parts of these towns, where vast acres separated the homesteads, was that of the "moving school."

It was a simple and effective idea. A teacher would board with a family and spend a few months teaching the children in one area of town and then move on to another. Thus every child's education was addressed on a rotating basis. (pg. 49)

Charlotte's Web
by W. B. White
I don't think there is such a thing as less than nothing. Nothing is absolutely the limit of nothingness. It's the lowest you can go. It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing?

It's the end of the line. How can something be less than nothing? If there were something that was less than nothing, than nothing would not be nothing, it would be something - even though it's just a very little bit of something. But if nothing is nothing, than nothing has nothing that is less than it is. (pg 28)

Speak
by Laurie Halse Anderson
"I crouch by the trunk, my fingers stroking the bark, seeking a Braille code, a clue, a message on how to come back to life after my long undersnow dormancy. I have survived. I am here. confused, screwed up, but here. So how can I find my way? Is there a chain saw of the soul, an ax I can take to my memories or fears? (pg. 188)
Speak has been challenged this past week. If you think that it shouldn't be a challenged or banned book show Laurie Halse Anderson your support. Go to her blog and see what you can do.
