I loved this book! This boy, Cap (short for Capricorn) has all the perfect ideals we all think we have, but really don't, and he remains true to himself despite being the weirdest and most tortured kid in school. It's dramatic, and unrealistic, but has kind of awakened the hippie in me! I think I'll tye-dye shirts this week with the kids

4.5 STARSI probably would never have picked this book up on my own. I have a bit of trepidation with books about homeschool--so far, I haven't been that comfortable with how homeschoolers are portrayed in various forms of media--and this one, with thirteen year old Capricorn Anderson being raised alone in a farm commune by his hippie grandmother, Rain, sounded like another book about some off-the-wall family that didn't represent at all what homeschool is like for most of us. But, my husband rea [...]

Ok, first off I'm a home schooled, so I was immediately mistrustful of this book. But Gordon Korman is one of favorite authors, so I gave it a try. It was insulting. It played off of every stereotype of homeschoolers! That we're social misfits who don't know anything and are really freaks who need to conform to the social standards and just go to school. Excuse me?The main character of the book is Cap, who is a hippy who's been raised on a farm, homeschooled by his grandma, and has never watched [...]

For my December book project, I chose the book, schooled, from a list of a variety of different books. I had absolutely no idea what the book was about until I actually got it, and it turned out a whole lot better than I thought it would be. Schooled is basically about a thirteen-year-old hippie who goes to a public school for the first time after being home-schooled by his grandmother until she's sent to the hospital due to a bad fall. But, when Capricorn Anderson(Cap) joins the new school, alm [...]

This is one of the more enjoyable books I've read in a while, and it's one I think Jr. High kids will love. I hope I can sell it to my secondary kids, becaues it's definitely worth reading and provides a great platform to discuss bullying, cruelty, cliques, and stereotyping. The only problem is that the narrative is centered on younger kids, so they may feel like it's too immature for them. The only disturbing thing I found in the book was its heavy reliance on stereotypes: the cowardly nerd who [...]

I loved this book even though it wasn't what I was looking for.I was looking for books with realistically-written modern homeschooled characters, and this one was recommended to me. Unfortunately, Capricorn Anderson is not a realistic modern homeschooler at all. This book takes the stereotype of homeschoolers as weirdo hippies and puts it on steroids. This kid has grown up on an abandoned commune with only his grandmother and no friends his own age at all, and he understands nothing about the mo [...]

I truly enjoy reading Korman's books, especially titles such as: "No More Dead Dogs," "Swindle," "Son of the Mob," and "Born to Rock." "Schooled" was just as excellent and definitely fit the bill of a 5-star Gordon Korman book! "Schooled" introduces readers to an extremely sheltered 13-year-old boy, Cap. When the story begins, Cap and his grandmother, Rain, live on an isolated farm commune where they live an alternate lifestyle. Cap is not sent to school, he does not watch TV, and he definitely [...]

Gordan Korman has brilliantly brought to life an unlikely hero in this book about a young man who enters school for the first time in his life. He has been raised by his grandmother, a leftover hippi with definite ideas about right and wrong, and homeschooled on a ranch in the middle of nowhere. He brings the story to life by engaging opposites characters to throw life into a pendulum of good/bad outcomes. I thought the story was charming, touching and thought-provoking. He is a "stargi.

Capricorn has had a sheltered childhood growing up on an isolated old farm commune with his hippie grandmother. When she is injured and cannot care for him for two months he is forced to enter the real world and attend middle school in town. At first all the kids treat "Cap" terribly because he is so different. He is easily confused by the strange, foreign environment of middle school! His innocent, kind and peace-loving nature help him to acclimate and eventually even win the kids over. It was [...]

SchooledSchooled is a very good book for people that just transferred a new school because of any reason. But just to have a heads up the book starts off with a different person every chapter so you get every ones perspective. This book is about a kid named Capricorn Anderson also known as cap. He lives with his grandma in community for hippies. One day his grandma falls out of a tree and brakes her back, so cap has to go and live with someone else and go to school until his grandma gets w [...]

This has been one interesting book to read. Its very unique. I love how each chapter someone speaks whats on their mind, not just one person saying the whole book. Although it kept me confused at times but overall it was a pretty good book. Capri Anderson has been homeschooled ever since he was 13 until his grandma Rain falls out the tree. He is currently staying with Mrs. Donelly and her daughter Sophie. He has never been to a public school so it might be a little awkward for him. Now he has en [...]

I love Gordon Korman. This book is a true, extreme fish-out-of-water tale of Capricorn Anderson, raised on a commune by his hippie grandmother, where he is homeschooled and, really, indoctrinated. When Rain (his grandmother) is injured, Cap spends six weeks at a publich middle school, where he is immediately elected class president-- a dubious honor always given to the biggest loser. But as Cap, who has never used a phone or handled money before in his life, struggles to learn the ropes, the peo [...]

I love this book! it is an awesome book about a hippie named Capricorn(or Cap) who is homeschooled by his grandma, Rain.It has self love, respect for self and other, family values, thinking of others, looking deeper than the surface, and never giving up.I had never read any of Gordon Korman's books until now, and I look forward to some more excellent and creative works that reflect how people effect each other. This book will appeal to both boys and girls, I think.Great book!

Capricorn Anderson has been homeschooled by his hippie grandmother, Rain, who seems to still be living back in the '60s, on a commune whose population has dwindled down to just the two of them. When Rain is injured, Cap must attend a public middle school, but he is not remotely prepared for life in the 21st century, as he has never seen a TV or a cell phone. In fact, there is no telephone at all on the commune. And he has never handled money.Cap is definitely a fish out of water in a hostile env [...]

Capricorn has been raised on a commune, by his grandmother, Rain. He has no experience in the “real world”, but when Rain is injured and needs time to heal, Cap is taken in by a social worker and has to go to the local middle school. Cap, the new kid, is nothing like anyone’s ever seen before… this weird hippie kid, who doesn’t understand the first thing about middle school or kids his own age. Because of this, he’s an easy target to pick on.This was really good. Meant for a younger [...]

Capricorn Anderson was a homeschooled hippie teenager living with his grandmother Until she had to take a long surgery. The result? He would have to go to a public school filled with kids trying to torment him.Of course, on the other hand, Cap Anderson is actually a pretty smart kid Read this hilarious book filled with friends, bullies, mistakes, and more! Although this book is a tad bit unrealistic, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Personally, I would recommend this book to kids ages ten through twelve [...]

A cute and funny story. Really well written. Each chapter is told from different characters' viewpoints. The main character, Cap (short for Capricorn), has been raised in isolation on a commune with his grandmother, a '60s hippies. When she breaks her hip and has to go to a hospital for 6 weeks, Cap has to go into foster care and attend public middle school. He is a target for bullies, but he perseveres and becomes the most popular kid at school because of his honesty and unique outlook on life. [...]

I liked this book because it was a quick read. I also liked that each chapter came from another character's perspective. That style brought all of the characters, good and bad, into the reader's sympathy and perspective.

This is one of the funniest, most heartfelt books I have ever read, and I read it at age ten. Schooled follows a boy named Cap who moves from his peaceful life as a hippie to public school. I loved the life lessons presented here. This is a book about being yourself despite the thoughts of those around you. It’s a book about how many people will like you if you act like yourself, but not necessarilly all. It’s a book about the good in people. The multiple points of view really helped this bo [...]

He has to live with the guidance counselor from school until his grandmother gets better. Cap gets elected class president as a traditional joke for the new kid at school.

Why I picked it up: On next year’s middle school battle of the books list and was a contender for the annual collaborative book discussion at the middle school.Cap (short for Capricorn) Anderson has lived his entire life on a commune with pretty much just his grandmother for company. When Rain (grandma) falls while picking fruit and has a lengthy hospital stay, he ends up staying with a social worker and going to the public middle school. The school has a tradition of nominating and electing a [...]

This book was one of the best Gordon Korman books I've read.Cap becomes a celebrity in the school, and becomes more popular than Zach Powers. Zach was a really popular guy until Cap became a celebrity. Zach wanted to overthrow Cap, so he gets a nerd who doesn't like Cap to put him in an arch rival's jersey, for football. The team tackles him and Cap gets hurt. Also, one of Zach's best friends, Darryl, punches Zach because he figures out that he tried to hurt Cap. Cap gets in the way because he d [...]

Facing the real world is scary. Capricorn Anderdon finds that out when his grandmother, Rain, falls out of a tree and is in the hospital. He has to stay with a guidance counselor and her cranky teenage daughter, and attend a public school for eight weeks. Cap will face relentless spitballs, teasing, and torture from the school's most popular kid, Zach Powers and his friends. Can Cap survive middle school, or will he prevail. I liked this book because Cap never let anything that happened to him g [...]

Cap Anderson is from a hippie place. He hasn't done many things that average people have done average people like eat pizza or gone to a party etc When his grandma falls and breaks her back things change for Cap. Cap becomes school president and has to organize a dance. By the end of the school year Cap becomes the most popular kid in the school.
