You can’t get away from distance learning - Katharine Kelly, Urban Tulsa
Grandpa’s generation, and those with a sense of history or music and cultural continuity might appreciate an old rhyme updated: “Reading, and writing and arithmetic, taught to the tune of the hickory stick” has become “reading, and writing and arithmetic, all to the tune of the computer click.” Education, at one time a forced march from grade school on up, required no little corporal punishment as the method of instilling discipline. While summer vacation is still a treasured trove of unfettered creativity, parents and society seem to have done a fair job of inculcating in students these days an appreciation for the value of education. It couldn’t have come sooner.
