Well, it is time for our annual "School's Out for the Summer" photo. Today is the last day for students in the Guilford County Schools. If you've been in a school at the end of the school year, you know it is a special time for students and teachers to celebrate their accomplishments and hard work, to clean classrooms, cull items, say good-byes and organize for the next year. Closure and fresh beginnings are a good thing. Ideally, summer is time for families to reconnect. Teachers have a time to rejuvenate and gather fresh ideas. Students have time to mature and learn in an unschooled way (a link worth viewing). If you have children who are home for the summer, we hope you make the most of your time together.
The busses in the photo above belong to the Greensboro Day School on Lake Brandt Road. They are parked in front of a church because the Day School purchased the church to use for special events. Even though Day School students have already finished the school year, we liked the dormant appearance of the busses. Bus lots countywide will look like this..........tonight.
Call us "old school," but we love the idea of the traditional 10-month school calendar!
With "unschooling" there is no EOG test. Maybe there's a lesson here for the public schools.
