What a crazy, mixed up world we live in. Hurricane Harvey hit Texas. I think Texas brought it on themselves, though, with their whole “Everything’s bigger in Texas”. That was true until the largest recorded hurricane, Hurricane Irma, came crashing through the Carribean and Florida. Then there’s Hurrican Jose lining up and waiting it’s turn after Irma. There are wildfires burning in Montana. And North Korea is setting off Nukes. You know, because there’s not enough in this world that can kill us.
So, in light of all that happening, we send our kids off to school. Education just might be our best defence. As yesterday was the first day of school for many, I asked the boys questions about their day. They were both excited to go. Even better, they were both excited to tell us about their day when they got home. Of course, if you thought their favorite part of their first day of school had anything to do with school you’re gravely mistaken…
1. What was the best part of your first day of school?
Crash: Going outside and playing a game at the end of the day with my class
Bang: Meeting all my new friends
2. What didn’t you like about the first day of school?
Crash: Nothing really…
Bang: Nothing. I liked everything
3. What do you want to learn about in school?
Crash: Science, like experiements and stuff
Bang: Doing science… like make special potions that heal you if you’re getting attacked or murdered
4. What do you already know that you don’t need to learn in school?
Crash: Adding 100 + 40 + 6 because I already know it’s 146.
Bang: Math… like ten frames and stuff
5. What do you like best about your teacher?
Crash: That she’s nice
Bang: That she gives us lots of play time
6. What time should school start?
Crash: 11:00 am
Bang: 8:30 am
7. What time should school end?
Crash: 3:35 pm
Bang: 9:30 am
8. What would be the most awesomest way to go to school?
Crash: Riding a big dragon
Bang: Dirt bike and ride in the woods
9. What book would recommend to others as a must read?
Crash: The Land of Stories The Wishing Spell
Bang: Ain’t Gonna Paint No More
10. What do you want to do this weekend?
Crash: Have a sleepover at Nanny’s
Bang: Have a sleepover in my brother’s bed

So would Bang like to head home after the hour in school or stay there and hang out with his buddies?

That’s an excellent question.. I’ll have to clarify that. He says it’ll be time to come home… 😀

I’d like to know more about these special potions 😀 Glad they had a good first day back!

I’m morbidly curious to know what he’d put in them. I’m afraid it would resemble Harry Potter’s cauldron.

They are so funny. One hour of school top the list I think.

And, although I didn’t clarify, I’m guess that one hour of school would be used for playing with his friends, not for learning.

I love Bang’s school day! Make it happen, kid!!
I read today that a hurricane in something like 1936 was stronger – comparing both hurricanes when they made landfall. And there were plenty more as powerful or more powerful going back to the 30s. Thank goodness it wasn’t stronger – my sister lives in Miami Beach!

Hope your sister is safe and all is well. There have been stronger storms but there hasn’t been this many consecutive storms of this magnitude.That school day is fantastic. Isn’t it Finland who has the 4 hour school day?

It’s a bit messy down there. She had water and sand come into her 12th floor apartment window! It wasn’t hurricane-proof, but others in her building that were still had the elements come in. Crazy. She lives right on the beach, though, so that’s the risk. It’ll be weeks before everything is back on line.
Really, 4 hours? I’m amazed they can fit everything in!

I hope she able to get cleaned up and back to normal quickly. Apparently Finland has the ultimate school system and the greatest success due to some drastic changes.
