Khaki and Goatskin

Schools - flag ceremony, cinder block, tin roofs, students cut grass with machetes, wear uniforms

pg 61: history of this type education in Togo; good research

pg 68: "learning was unlikely even in the best circumstances..."

pg 69: charade

pg 70-71: the play, a satire on the school

* like our soccer game, an unexpected success, fills us with awe and pride

*I like this little story of the play and would like my book to be short stories - with little stories like these framing smaller, related, stories

ah! story so short!

imagines a kid succeeding in America

pg 75: good insight
