This issue of The Source looks into Bend’s local community college. And it turns out, school is a topic that songwriters have been exploring for some time as well. Sounds like a Mixtape to us.

We’ve found some great songs about the trials and successes of the educational process, with everyone from Nirvana to Jurassic 5 to “Monster School,” from the Broadway musical, Avenue Q. And what school mixtape would be complete without classics like “Schools Out for Summer,” from Alice Cooper and “Rock and Roll High School,” from The Ramones? Paired with tunes from newbs like The Wombats and Foxygen, it’s an educational process.
