School?
Young people attending school everyday (or living at school) is a new phenomena. It used the be a rare case that the average young person would have the time and money to get an eduacation. We live in an age that idolizes eduacation. People my age are so familiar with it that it is no longer considered a rare treat, in fact many of us dread school.It's an interesting thing to compare our lives with the lives of those our own age 200 years ago. Girls my age were married, and probably expecting their first child. She would run the family garden, and take care of making meals from scratch (literally.) She would make all their clothes, and do all the cleaning. It wasn't easy. The guys would have a small farm to care for, or a cottage in the woods. The children would be put to hard labor from very young years. If they were fortunate they would get a bit of an education and learn the basics of reading and math. The people worked hard yet they found joy in life. They had a more serious view of life and death. It was common for people to die, and so there was a severity in life that we don't understand.
Education? Is it really as great as we think it is?
What do you think?

I think your right.
I mean kids now days don't care whether or not they get an education! I think the problem with puplic shools now, are tatally different from what they were 30 years ago. the problem with school is they don't give spakens, they took the bible and pray out of the schools, and the teachers don't push them to do thier homework!!
It so wierd because when they become adults and get into the real world they wished they listened in school, and when they have childeren, they think they can learn from what thier learning.(My mom does that)
I am so thankful that I'm homeschooled!!!
