Summary Of The Sanctuary Of School By Lynda Barry

In “The Sanctuary Of School,” the author, Lynda Barry narrate her history how she grew up been depressed in a unstable family and a broken home affected economically, with parents that might not realize if they ever were gone. She and her brother were invisible due to the lack of love and appreciation at their own home. They were neglected in many ways that if they were to snick out of home at night no body would even notice them, as if they were worthless that not even their own parents would even realize that they were there. School was Lynda’s safe haven from been neglected, it was the only place that she could feel like if was her real home, going to school it was a challenged experience that it was surrounded by anxiety and panic but none
of that matter because once she start to see the shape of her school will make her feel more at ease and happy knowing that at school she will feel welcome by Mr. Gunderson, the janitor, Mrs. Holman, the school secretary, Mr. Cunningham the fifth grader teacher and her teacher, Mrs Claire LeSane, making her feel at home. Schools and teachers are really important and necessary to guide kids to a better path when many of them do not have a great paternal or maternal figure to learn from, it is time to look out for the kids of this country best interests having a better school system in place. It is sad how on today’s days the lack of values in our families, neighborhoods and society is affecting us and we should try to preserve them at all cost, because everything that we do should be based on, yet in today’s dates it seems like families are losing the main idea in what is important, and what is important is the wellbeing of our kids been at happy place surrounded by parents that care for them.
