I liked school. I enjoyed learning and asking 'why'. The teachers we had were good people who enjoyed their task of explaining the world around us. I had great friends and looked forward to recess like most other kids! Organized sports were fun ways to challenge ourselves to excel physically. I enjoyed the competition. Our elementary school was small and provided a secure, informed, organized way to explore life in a friendly setting. I know school wasn't great for everyone, but as a kid in our small community I was aware of the care of the whole community. It's something that is peculiar to very small communities. As I've said before, life was simple and safe as I remember it. I think that school and community built young, confident happy children. Did you look forward to school Jen? Barbara
