School?

I wasn’t sure if I saw you the other day,

Or in a dream,

But I know that I saw you.

Standing there sheepishly,

With a book in hand.

And I remember, being you,

A little girl,

Learning more from the world,

And books,

Then school could ever do.

point cleverly taken. sounds like a candidate for home schooling.

I was an undergrad at SIU in the late sixties. I learned much more that has helped me in life out of the classroom rather than in it. But I do admit I should have spent more time in the classroom. Skipped a lot of classes back then, too much happening.
I surely appreciate this.

Thank you, and I'm glad you understand, it is usually a combination of both yet I think about the wisdom of my mother who never went to college and let me skip school;)

The world has its own curriculum, not all of it pleasant, and sometimes we don't get to choose the courses. But we cam still learn from them.

Thank you and your words, "sometimes we don't get to choose the courses" is so true!
