BACK TO SCHOOL LITTLE DUDES!!

Don't know how the schedule is where you are located, but around here the kids started back to school this month and are now going full-blast, (unlike the sound being made around American schools), and learning faster than ever before. There are no metal detectors or police walking the hallways, no special office dedicated to investigations or other sordid crimes. The teachers are mostly young and out of college starting careers and giving it all they've got. The children actually have to study their subjects over here and there are absolutely no multiple choice tests. When a question is asked, it has an answer, and although many times the answer is subjective, that's why the teachers go to college! HELLO!!! They are supposed to be able to determine if little Johnnie's answer sucks or not. You send your children to school to learn and that's what they do. There are no lockers in the hallway. There are no soda machines, candy machines, or any other machines clogging the hallways either. The children take their books home every night-no need for lockers. They get out from 12:45 AM to 3:00 PM to eat a well prepared lunch at their home-the one they walk to and from. It's not all hard work and no play either because they have lots of recreation and run and jump like any other kids in the world. Some of the finest physicians originate in this country and provide health care throughout the globe. Many of the number one sports personnel on today's circuits are from Spain. I don't have to list names like Nadal, or Alonso because everyone knows where they stand at the tennis court, or the formula 1 race track. I hope your children are getting a good education also because that is the end result we all desire to achieve. Some schools are better than others, some more comfortable, some with more financial backing, and the best transportation and eating facilities available to the board of education, however, all of those things are really just brighter color on the painting when it boils down to the job interview after college-the brightest light always shines the strongest when it has been charged with the most potential.
Education is imperative to the survival of our world-no matter where you live-so take an interest in your child's education. Don't let their teachers pass out the multiple choice TAKE YOUR BEST GUESS TEST. Get involved in the PTA and let yourself be heard. Demand that the children be tested in a way to increase their potential, to challenge their minds instead of pushing them through the system so they can work at a minimum paying job without a future. My children may never get a super job either, but it won't be from me not trying-they do some type of homework 365 days a year. They either read a different language, study games developed by JumpStart programs on the computer, or do their required school work scheduled for that day, but they are so accustomed to the system, that they treat learning like the thing it is-just another part of everyday life............
