Christina, I have no doubt that you would love to be a child, sitting in a classroom, dreaming of becoming a concert violinist.
The dream has never died…
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

I confess! I couldn't get out of there fast enough!
Don't get me wrong. I love learning new things. We are always learning till the day we die.
I just hated school!

Isn't it a shame that they teach you all of this useless crap when they really ought to be preparing you for life?

I guess they could do a better job at preparing you for life, but in reality, only life can prepare you for life. Apart from reading, writing and basic arithmetic (all three of which I'm very grateful for) school is a waste of time.

Oh GOD! I forgot about that part! YES!!!
Weekends were really bad. You didn't want to do it Friday or Saturday, so it was always a weight hanging over your head all weekend, and doing it on Sunday night just made the very thought of Monday even worse before Monday came.

Well, the responsibilities continued after the school days… I went into the military, then there were jobs after marriage… then a baby… etc…
I always dreamed that one day, I could just sleep in and not worry about being responsible for someone else, or having to be at a certain place at a certain time.
At 66, I am finally there! I can sleep in!!! I'm retired!!!
Years later??? Many years later….
Sadly, it doesn't work that way as you age. I'm lucky to get 6 straight hours of sleep a night.
Why do you think I'm up, watching kids trot off to school?

Not that anyone cares. But there was an old song by the name of School Days. Pretty catchy tune. I looked it up, and it dates back to 1907. They used to play it as the introduction to the old time radio show,
The Quiz Kids
(1940’s and 50’s version of: Are you smarter than a 5th grader, but with kids that were the real deal)
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Reading and writing' and rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Reading and writing' and rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
