Even New Yorky kids go for high culture (home, high school)

[Cida]

I love this. A high school girl used to cut classes to go to the museum. I love seeing kids alone in museums.



Playing Hooky
During my senior year in the high school, I would cut class, take the train to New York City and use my babysitting money to go to museums.
I knew when all the free and discount days for students were and I would bring a book of my father’s that listed cheap and interesting restaurants where I could go for lunch. I would get back to school in time to take the bus home (or at least to make it look like I had).

That's sweet. If you're a motivated kid with enough resources, you can learn a lot on your own like that.
