"An educational system isn't worth a great deal
if it teaches young people how to make a living
but doesn't teach them how to make a life."

Author Unknown
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Tomorrow morning the children of Motown head back to school for another year of learning.  Growing up I always hated Labor Day weekend as I was so not a fan of back to school time.  I think I had a stomach ache almost every day I was required to be at my desk. 
Now that I'm grown I love learning and am curious about most things.  I think it was the approach to learning that didn't work for me.  Probably I would have thrived better in a less rigid environment -- like a Montessori school, but I don't believe there were Montessori schools during the era of my youth.  
Wishing students everywhere a wonderful school year. 

Peace & Love -
Colorado Dreamin

What a lovely picture - I must show it to Paddy Jack when he's here later. School was a mixture for me - I was always slightly anxious and over acted to compensate. I wish, like you, I had been at a different senior school - I wasn't made for regimentation but that's what it was so I rebelled inwardly and consequently didn't achieve as I should have. Good post CD

I am not gonna lie I hated school for the most part of my life because I was teased for being a Tom BOY....Ten lip shades and hair styles later I liked it when they started to think I was pretty lol....I know that is crazy. I hope the kids have a great year:) I also hope your doing well.

Good ol' school days...
I skipped a grade and was still trying to find
a way to get out early!!!
I love learning, just maybe not the conventional ways!
I love your avatar pic too...Colorado is my wish state.
