Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 15, 2013

I guess that the school name is accurate.

Good morning, LB.

“Now, children! It’s recess time! Let’s go outside and play! …Children? …Okay, you may take your laptops with you….” [Teacher sighs.]

I got into a ‘gifted program’ at school when I was in grade 4.

The coolest part was that they had a computer right there in the classroom! We’d have at least half a dozen kids crowded around that Commodore 64. :)

That’s it. They’re all trying to take over the world on their iPads.

Give ‘em all SmartFones and turn ’em looseI’ll be dead soon…

The tike on the bike, future statistic.

Why are most of them already wearing glasses?

What kind of kids are we raising these days?I still like the Gary Larson Far Side cartoon ofa kid at the front door of “School For The Gifted”He was pushing on the door that had a sign that said “Pull”

running Linux Mint or OpenBSD on their laptops

What’s with the kid inside at the window? Was he being punished and not allowed to go out to “play” with the others?
