MLA Practice

Liza Burby, a writer for Better Homes and Gardens explains the difference in mood children feel when they are in school as opposed being at a birthday party or interesting event. Russ Quaglia says, " THe sense of fun and adventure they have in going to school and learning new things begins to wane by third grade when they've leanred the basic skills...By high school, they are talking about school as some kind of prison." (Quoted in Burby 108).
