Text version of the episode:
When I was in second grade, my mom decided to homeschool me. We used to live right next to an elementary school, and I would always see the kids playing during recess but I could never really join them, because I’d have to climb the fence.
One day, when I was playing outside and I’d already done all my lessons, I saw some of the kids playing, and I leaned up against the fence and watched them. Until, this teacher in an orange vest, came running full speed all the way across the soccer field towards me.
“Hey!” She yelled, “Get back over the fence! You’re supposed to be in school!”
And I didn’t know what to say! I didn’t go that school, I didn’t know that teacher – was homeschooled.
So I effectively got in trouble for being on the other side of the fence. And, I don’t know if my mom came outside or if I just ran away but, I’ve always felt like someone who lived on the outside of the fence.
