Signs of the Time

Instead of finding humor in these signs, I feel a sense of sadness. I am not going into a discourse on education but I have strong opinions about what has been done to our children over the last half century. The cry from early childhood development on to college is a scream for money and although more than half of our taxes goes into education funds, more is always wanted and our children have come out of our schools semi illiterate. Some thing is very wrong when politics rears its ugly head in our education system. There are two sides to every story and the 'blame' goes full circle.

So today, look at the children in your circle and pay attention to what they are, or are not, learning in school. Attend the PTA meetings and go to their games and listen to what they have to say . . .you may tune into a problem that you can help solve. Grandchildren of the 'lost generation' are making these signs and are paying a terrible price for those who 'dropped out' and now struggle to survive in a technical world they could not even imagine. The teacher's job is to teach. The parents job is to discipline, for discipline is love, and if both are doing their job the child reaches up and out to its full potential. If you are making signs today, be sure and have a dictionary handy . . . I have one built in on the computer and all I have to do is hit the spell check button. Humor, thy name is 'jean' today. Have a good day, all day. Hugs to you!!
