Even in the face of being bullied he stays true to his own values. Unlike a small child Cap never seems to get angry at others, though he is often baffled and confused over their behavior. Cap has the innocence of a small child wanting to do what is right. Respect, tolerance, kindness and honor in fulfilling a job are all lessons that are taught in Schooled. One of the highlights is that it teaches a good message without preaching. I highly recommend this book to all teens. Schooled is a great book, blending humor, tender moments and poignant questions. The big question is who will really be schooled by the end of the year? When Cap is elected president he is surprised, but is determined to do the job he has been elected to do. The new president will be harassed by the student body for the entire year. The students have dubbed their school, C Average Middle School, and have an old tradition that the biggest weirdo gets elected class president. Donnelly’s daughter, hates Cap from the moment she sees him, which he finds incomprehensible.Ĭap’s major obstacle is attending public school and learning about his peers. Donnelly, who also had lived on Garland Farm as a child, feels a responsibility to try to help Cap when he is facing an unfamiliar world. When Rain falls out of a tree and is injured Capricorn has to be removed from his home, and is taken in by Mrs. Capricorn Anderson has grown up on Garland Farm, of course now days the only people on the commune are him and his hippie grandma, Rain.
