Looking back on ‘Back-to-School’

28Sep11

Whether or not you are a student or a parent of students yourself, you have undoubtedly noticed that the time has rolled around once again for children to return to school. For me, the awareness came a little late (after all, September is almost over already!) thanks to the schoolbus stop kitty-corner to my house, and the resulting flock of kids that gather there. It is an interesting time of year, and can lead any adult to reflect on their own schoolday experiences.

And today there are so many choices! Public… private… charter… homeschool…alternative… religious… and of course distance and online schooling. Reflecting back on your education (or maybe you are still a student), what stood out as having shaped you the most? And how did the variables such as class size, learning style, and environment affect you?

Here is a look at one school, Fairview Christian School out of Seattle, where their mission is “to educate and empower children to become healthy, intellectually capable and vital living witnesses to the love, justice and grace of God through Jesus Christ.” They serve kids as young as 6 weeks in their child care program, and school children through 8th grade. As someone who bounced through many different schools, imagining a stable experience such as that is very fascinating! Would love to hear YOUR reaction to the piece and to your school experience in the comments below!
