Schooled

So, everyone else begins to appreciate Cap as they try to become more like him. I've learned from this book that you really learn more about yourself through people around you that you'd least expect to learn from. After reading about Capricorn Anderson, I thought to myself that I should act more like him instead of being so stubborn.

I suggest that you read this book because it will probably have a big impact on your life as it did on mine. Aug 24, Alice Cai rated it did not like it Shelves: All these people deserve to die. I remembered this book from my middle school library and I wanted to remember what the plot was. The story is depressing and stupid at the same time. I feel so horrible after reading this.

So the theme is that this kid Cap has been raised alone by his grandma for 13 years in this cult-like society secluded from civilization. Well it's not really a cult anymore because it's just Cap and his grandma living as mentioned in the story "in the 60s". So stuff happens and Cap goes to middle school and enter society for the first time. So almost every character is an idiot, a stereotype, and an asshole all at the same time. In addition the story isn't even enjoyable because Cap continuously gets bullied throughout the whole story so it's depressing as hell.

Cap isn't effected by the bullying by the way because of how he's raised. That's where I think the message of this story is horrible too. So while Cap goes to school he's living with this social worker lady who grew up in Cap's grandma's cult as a child. She mentioned that she had a hard time adjusting after getting out.

So she definitely knows Cap's situation is horrible. It's strange because this story is mostly about how weird Cap is from his grandma's values and lifestyle, but these values are also why he is an amazing, nice person? Another thing is that Cap is getting taken away from the school at some point and being secluded from society again with just his grandmother and the social worker lady doesn't even try to stop it. I thought that was the point of her character with her understanding his whole background. With the grandmother cult thing she literally just ended all the cult stuff at the end to make Cap happy and that was it.

This book is boring too. I skimmed like half of it. I got the whole gist of it though. Bullying, stupid people, assholes, being weird and nice is great but it comes from being forcefully secluded from society your whole life. Jan 28, Hanah rated it it was amazing Shelves: I loved this book even though it wasn't what I was looking for. I was looking for books with realistically-written modern homeschooled characters, and this one was recommended to me. Unfortunately, Capricorn Anderson is not a realistic modern homeschooler at all.

This book takes the stereotype of homeschoolers as weirdo hippies and puts it on steroids. This kid has grown up on an abandoned commune with only his grandmother and no friends his own age at all, and he understands nothing about the mo I loved this book even though it wasn't what I was looking for. This kid has grown up on an abandoned commune with only his grandmother and no friends his own age at all, and he understands nothing about the modern world.

It's not any kind of realistic representation of homeschooling today. So, don't read it for that. But the book -- and Cap as a character -- is fantastic! The point of the book is to look at middle school through the eyes of a complete outsider who understands absolutely nothing about the social situations there. It's one of those stories where you drop in an alien and realize that so many of the things we do make no sense at all. Cap's background is what it is because that allows him to illuminate all the things that are messed up and cruel about your standard American middle school.

The story is fantastic and the different characters' POV's are spot-on. I enjoyed this all the way through.

Aug 03, Boyd rated it really liked it Shelves: This is one of the more enjoyable books I've read in a while, and it's one I think Jr. High kids will love. I hope I can sell it to my secondary kids, becaues it's definitely worth reading and provides a great platform to discuss bullying, cruelty, cliques, and stereotyping. The only problem is that the narrative is centered on younger kids, so they may feel like it's too immature for them. The only disturbing thing I found in the book was its heavy reliance on stereotypes: Part of the fun, though, is the way Korman plays with those stereotypes.

I will say that I got a little choked up at the end, but I don't want to spoil it by discussing it at length here. Nov 27, Shivantika rated it it was amazing. So my teacher read this aloud. At the beginning, it was kinda boring. Everyone felt like falling asleep. Then, it actually got quite a bit better! Especially when Cap was driving the bus, that's when the fun started! Pretty great, I would definitely reccomend. Oct 04, Luke c rated it liked it.

Schooled Schooled is a very good book for people that just transferred a new school because of any reason. But just to have a heads up the book starts off with a different person every chapter so you get every ones perspective. This book is about a kid named Capricorn Anderson also known as cap. He lives with his grandma in community for hippies. One day his grandma falls out of a tree and brakes her back, so cap has to go and live with someone else and go to school until his grandma gets well.

He goes to live with a family the Donnelly's, Ms.

The bookend up with him going to school and being bullied by Sophie and many other people. Then cap was elected school president just so people could make fun of him.

This was an amazing book about a kid who was stuck in the 80's and comes to reality when he leaves Garland farm and goes to middle school.

Jun 20, Aila rated it really liked it. For some reason I suddenly remembered this book and how much I liked it back in middle school. So, here's a rating from Aila. I truly enjoy reading Korman's books, especially titles such as: When the story begins, Cap and his grandmother, Rain, live on an isolated farm commune where they live an alternate lifestyle. Cap is not sent to school, he does not watch TV, and he definitely I truly enjoy reading Korman's books, especially titles such as: Cap is not sent to school, he does not watch TV, and he definitely does not speak on the phone After Rain falls from a tree while picking plums, she is placed into the hospital and Cap is sent to live with a social worker from the nearby school.

Cap's world is suddenly flipped upside down! As Cap has lived a sheltered life and wears hemp shoes to his first day of middle school , he is immediately the target of harassment at his new school. Unfortunately for Cap, this harassment is only perpetuated when he is elected class president of his new eighth-grade class--a standing tradition where the eighth-graders elect the weirdest and most nerdiest student to be president. However, to most everyone's surprise Cap brings the lessons and morals he has learned from the Garland Farm Commune to his new school and everyone has a new lesson to learn!

I would strongly recommend this book to several of my middle school readers. The use of multiple perspectives allows the reader to visualize the plot, and more specifically the conflict, from several different angles--even allowing readers to better understand unlikeable characters such as the football player. Each character adds a new depth and dimension to Cap's situation, thus allowing the reader to feel as if they are apart of Cap's middle school experience--as scary as that is! I think many of my middle school boys--especially those who looking for humor in their reads, would find this book a blast!

Gordan Korman has brilliantly brought to life an unlikely hero in this book about a young man who enters school for the first time in his life. He has been raised by his grandmother, a leftover hippi with definite ideas about right and wrong, and homeschooled on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. I thought the story was charming, touching and thought-provoking. He is a "stargi He is a "stargirl" of the male gender! Mar 23, Michelle rated it it was amazing Recommends it for: Capricorn has had a sheltered childhood growing up on an isolated old farm commune with his hippie grandmother.

When she is injured and cannot care for him for two months he is forced to enter the real world and attend middle school in town. At first all the kids treat "Cap" terribly because he is so different. He is easily confused by the strange, foreign environment of middle school! His innocent, kind and peace-loving nature help him to acclimate and eventually even win the kids over. It was Capricorn has had a sheltered childhood growing up on an isolated old farm commune with his hippie grandmother.

It was interesting to follow the story from the different points of view of various people telling the story: Cap; the social worker he lives with temporarily; her pretty high-school aged daughter who at first hates Cap; the most popular jock at school; the most unpopular nerd; a popular girl; and the principal. I really enjoyed the different personalities and how they grew, particularly Cap. Oct 17, Jonathan Da-silva rated it really liked it.
