- Comment on There’s a scene in a Ramona Quimby novel where Ramona is sent home from school i 11 hours ago:
I don't know why, but I'm guessing that in the 1950s the school could be relatively certain the child's mother would be home to care for them if they were sent home. In the 90s and 00s, that would not be true.
