Liza Burby's article from Better Homes and Gardens magazine is about the contrast between the fun kids have at parties and going to school when they are young and the boredome they experience in junior and senior high school. 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 learned the basic skills . . . By seventh grade, with their hormones kicking in and their peers being paramount in their lives, their lament is, 'School is so boring!'" (Quoted in Burby 108).
