Age group?

I just wanted to mention that I am quite jealous of all you people who had your teachers read to you when you were in school.
For the first 8 years of my scholastic life, I was incarcerated in a Parochial school we lovingly called Stalag St. Edwards.
And while the Fransiscan Sisters were extremely proficient in many teaching techniques (ie, torture, ridicule, torture, psychological abuse and torture), they weren't really good at reading to us.
OK, perhaps I am being unfair... they might have been wonderful at reading stories, but we never learned of this gift because they never did it for us.

Well... once, Sr. Michael Ann read me part of a story from the "Lives of the Saints" about how the Iriquiois Indians had captured St. Isaac Jogues and used seashells to cut off his fingers... but somehow I'm not sure if that counts.

(Seriously, the nuns were OK in my book. A few of them even had wacky senses of humor, but I can't remember ever being read to and Sr. Mike DID read me that story about Isaac Jouges!)
