THEODORE BOONE. THE SCANDAL

John Grisham

““How can you compare a student with only one parent who lives in a tiny apartment with a student with two parents and grandparents and private tutors when necessary? How can you compare a student whose parents have college degrees? How can you compare a student whose father is in prison to a student whose father is a doctor? How can you compare a student who had nothing for breakfast with a student who ate too much for breakfast? How can you compare a student who started prechool as a three-year-old to a student who arrived here too late for kindergarten?””
