Would you like to be a freshman entering high school in Sept.2023.

No matter what, there are those that deny reality and what is staring them in the face!! And then they accuse YOU of being mentally unstable or a conspiracy theorist! Not unlike those that offer STYLE OVER SUBSTANCE.
 
I liked school, all years and everywhere I went, graduated in '67. I enjoyed classmates, teachers, learning, dances, cheerleading, etc.

But school today is a different game entirely. Then again, if we were 15 or 16, we wouldn't have known how it used to be in the 60s and 70s, would we? Today's youth have experienced only the last couple of decades at best, and their experience and knowledge is so very different. It has to be.
Nope, I'm glad to have gone to school when I did.
 
Looking back my freshman year was the start of being more self reliant. Self reliant because I wasn't aware of how poor my family was & the rest explains why I liked beginning high school freshman year,

The school I went to began a new concept in education. You could attend class in the morning that covered the typical subjects and if you could find a job work in the afternoon. At age 15 I was all for that. I began as a stock boy, but didn't like the boredom of that as a career. The store I worked at had an opening for an apprentice butcher. I tried that & enjoyed the learning it took to become a retail butcher. By age 16 I made enough money to buy a 1954 Ford Fairlane Convertible. Life was good all through the rest of my high school years since that program continued through my senior year.

I doubt that would be possible now. So no I wouldn't want to start freshman year passing thru metal detectors, & having to be constantly vigilant about what class mates said or do.
