Did you ride on a plane? Read a book?

Alan Borsuk:

A glimpse of the real life of students in the school: MPS Superintendent William Andrekopoulos asked the sixth-graders some questions about their summer.

How many of you took a trip on an airplane? No hands went up.

How many of you took a trip out of state? Three hands went up (one went to Chicago, one to North Carolina, one moved to Milwaukee from Minnesota).

How many saw a movie? Most of the hands went up. Went to State Fair? Eight or so hands, it appeared. Summerfest? About the same.

How many went swimming? Almost everybody.

How many read a book? Less than a quarter, it appeared.
