Most US schools these days start up after summer vacation some time in August. Whether this is a moment of liberation or incarceration, the end of an adventure or the beginning of one depends not only on whether you are a child or a parent, but also on the perspective you bring to your education.
How do you pursue learning as an adventure?
Most children have been back to school for a week or more, but somewhere in my consciousness, the day after Labor Day is fixed as the return to school. So I’m thinking that for those of us who left formal schooling behind many years ago, maybe today should mark Learn Something Day. Of course, any day is a good day to learn something new, but today could be an exceptionally good day to stretch your mind a bit.
What might you explore today about our amazing world and the people and other beings we share it with?
