BEST DAYS OF YOUR LIFE

For Three Word Wednesday

OFF SCHOOL



Drab education
Tendril-like arms slow to rise
Classrooms don't pulsate

  4. I was a real trouble-maker in school--bored, stifled, wishing to be outside where life pulsates. Hey! Teacher! Leave them kids alone. Great work!

  6. Sure they pulsate - with boredom.

    This is great. Tight writing.

  7. The best days of your life are generally those you remember but do not think so at the time. School was a mixed bag, like the curate's egg "good in parts".

  8. With so much technology to utilize and choose from, education can be innovative! Teachers are tested to the full! Nicely Stan!

  9. School is a holding pen for the young designed to keep the public safe during working hours:)

  11. I actually liked most of my K-12 classes. I was in a district that was pretty innovative for its time. College was another matter, though. Great instructors and challenging material were sometimes hard to come by.

  12. Stan, it's true. There are too few engaging, interesting teachers these days. In the States, I believe it's because teachers have been reduced to teaching to the test: Students engorged with information that they will eventually regurgitate on a meaningless standardized test.

    I was lucky back in the 60s and 70s. Had some amazing teachers, some of whom remain friends! Thanks, Amy
