The author explains the reasoning that education is important. The author shows that the family was not very educated because of their lack of grammar. The author says in paragraph one that it was the summer of nineteen-aught-eight, that statement shows that it was back then and they did not have great grammar.
The author states that the boy did not like school, as he said “Lucky for me, school was out.” Back then, educated was not valued as it is now. The main point in this passage is that education has come a long way, and that people back then did not have much to learn with. Grammar shows a lot back then because in the passage they use a lot of terms that do not make a lot of sense. The use of grammar changed because of education changes.
