It's time for school. There was no answer. She called again, this time more loudly, Jimmy, get up! It's time for school! Once more there was no answer. Exasperated, she went to his room and shook him saying, Jimmy, it's time to get ready for school. He answered, Mother, I'm not going to school.

To grasp the significance of this more fully, let me quickly and ruthlessl...
