I'm reading the same book and I'm really enjoying it. If I was in schools and they hit your behind for doing something bad I would probably tell my parent and try to make it stop. I think it is clever how Joseph but two pairs of pants on and then card board underneath. I also like how he says that he tries to learn their culture and school stuff. One last thing is that I thought it was very stupid that he had to once walk 40 miles to get back to his village after school. I also did some research and they still do the herding in a very similar way.
