In my lifetime, I have attended a large number of graduation ceremonies, including several where I walked the stage. Many more have been to honor friends and colleagues who have completed a degree. Out of the dozens I’ve attended, three stick out. Only one of the three was celebrating one of my accomplishments. The third […] Last weekend I popped up to see friends, and on Friday we went to pick up my friend’s son at grundschule – elementary school. I think that it was my first time inside an elementary school in years – to be honest I cannot remember the last time I was inside one – and it […] Smiley Middle School Now that my friends have kids of school age, I’m starting to hear some interesting stories about schools and how bad their administrations are. Fighting strange school policies on behalf of their kids is a refrain I’m hearing more and more. Listening to the stories reminded me of a story from […] I don’t actually remember much about kindergarten, other than the fact that my teacher was Ms. Stein (probably Mrs. Or Miss, but I don’t recall – as I look back, she was of a generation that preceded the Ms. prefix).

Students attending Park Hill Elementary School back then were divided up […] I do – it is a film I associate with wintertime, when, after eating lunch, it was too cold and/or snowing to go out on the playground. On such days, instead of being pushed outside, and out of our teacher’s hair, we were herded into the school gym, where a screen would be set up […] Dear Principal Bell, I just heard the fantastic news that a teacher at your school called the police after witnessing two 12 year olds kiss on the playground. I think this is fantastic! Nothing like embarrassing two children by calling the cops. It’s unfortunate that the cops didn’t arrest the kids and toss them in […] This morning, thanks to Twitter, I realized that Space Shuttle Endeavour was landing in Florida—so I took a few minutes away from work to watch the landing. Really there are a number of things to consider: First, I could watch the landing live thanks to streaming over the Internet—live feed, straight from NASA on my […] |
