Actually I had relatively good teachers; it's just that the AP program hadn't heard of post-structuralism. (I, on the other hand, have heard of it. Doesn't mean I understand it, or understand the implications of my mentioning it here.)
What I think I mean to say is, everybody was still subscribing to authorial intent and it drove me nuts. Also, I was easily bored, and had a generally bad attitude. (Fifth and lastly, I was on the more intelligent end of the spectrum, so nobody ever told me how I could improve my writing. This caused all sorts of fun later on.)
Have you got hold of "The Orphan's Tales: In the Night Garden" yet by any chance (I think I heard about it from you, or via you, or something)?
