“Hogwarts, Hogwarts, Hoggy Warty Hogwarts, Teach us something please,
Whether we be old and bald, Or young with scabby knees,
Our heads could do with filling With some interesting stuff,
For now they're bare and full of air, Dead flies and bits of fluff,
So teach us something worth knowing, Bring us back what we've forgot,
Just do your best, we'll do the rest, And learn until our brains all rot..."
— J.K. Rowling (Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone)

Elsie Allen, age 12, Homeschooler in 6th grade, lifelong Ada resident
