School

It is time to go back to school. It doesn't matter if you are a farmer or a preschooler, school is in.

Will sent us this picture of Liam going to his first day of preschool. Only five years ago we were preparing to go to North Carolina for his birth. Will was a Marine at Camp LeJeune and Becky was expecting Liam.

Here he is, five years later, going to school. Madison is in the second grade and Brynn will soon start her preschool. Our little family is going to school.

School was mostly good to me. I was good to school. It wasn't always good to me. As you know from reading my blog I love to learn. I learn every day. When they bury me, my learning here on earth will have ended but my learning of the hereafter will have just started.

I liked school and meeting new people. Some were nice to me and others weren't. Isn't that a great reflection of this life we are all living?

My favorite subject was always science and how things work. The history of how we got to this point fits right in so now I am a history buff too, in a small way.

I love to travel so I like geography. You have to have English in this country to communicate so why not do it right? English is really bashed these days with texting and acronyms. I didn't like English class but it taught me alot, not to use alot for example, but I can communicate now with about any group of people I want to.

An exception for me is foreign language, I don't do well in that subject. I had two years of French in High School but learned more about that and other languages when I travelled.

It is time for school to start again in Ohio and across the states. But school never starts and it never ends, you learn each day.

The classroom setting is starting back and that is what this blog is about.

Learn much, you students! Teach well, teachers!
