I’m almost jealous of some of the things kids in school have today. Just like my post above, using iPads to do homework and then submitting it via the Internet. Other things that I see in school would have been nice back in my time like: the swimming pools and diving tank, the weight and fitness room, the CCTV for announcements, assemblies and sporting events, TV’s in the cafeteria, electric pencil sharpeners, A/C, stadium seating in the auditorium and the list goes on.
No, I’m not jealous, but I am certainly appreciative of the things that the schools do have for the kids. Do they really need all that? Probably not, but it does in some small way prepare them for what they will have post high school and onto college, we hope.
