Lois Lowry Quote

Again. When we were Sixes, we went and shared a whole school day with a group of Sixes in their community. How did you feel when you were there? Lily frowned. I felt strange. Because their methods were different. They were learning usages that my group hadn’t learned yet, so we felt stupid. Father was listening with interest. I’m thinking, Lily, he said, about the boy who didn’t obey the rules today. Do you think it’s possible that he felt strange and stupid, being in a new place with rules that he didn’t know about? Lily pondered that. Yes, she said, finally.
