Grand Avenue by Mike Thompson for March 21, 2012

too bad Michael thinks of school as a prison. There are millions of young people all over the world that would love to be in his place with a desk, teacher and a chance at an education of any kind.

Gym class is demeaning and embarassing. Worst waste of class time ever!!! Give the kids a 20 minute recess- even in high schoo,l and they’ll be ready to go for the rest of the day.

They are spending 5 hours of their day learning stuff less rewarding and useful than balancing a ball on their head. The teachers have masters degrees and 30 years experience and wonder why everyone doesn’t get it the first time.

Things are never easy for you aren’t they Mike?

And if you stop by the boys’ room, don’t pick up the soap!
