School days, good old golden rule days, new things to be learned, old things to not be forgotten.
My YGK is growing up TOO FAST! His excietment is so contagious. Being in the 3rd grade brings new responsibilities. Until now, someone had to pick him up from school every day. His Dad lives across the street from the school and down a ways. He still had to be picked up. Now he is allowed to walk "home" on the days his Dad has him. How times have changed.
For me, grade school (errr!!! elementary school as my YGK demands it be called) was 1/2 mile from home. Except in extremely bad weather, I walked to school and home. It was no big deal then. High school was 1 mile away and again, except for bad weather, I walked both ways (when I went). Now in high school, most students have a vehicle.
How times have changed - not necessarily for the better.
