School is back in full swing. The kids are packed up, scheduled and loaded with notebooks, pens, pencils, computers, and calculators. Long lines form outside school drop-off areas. Tired, pajama-clad parents drop off bleary-eyed children, accustomed to sleeping and playing all day, now headed off to fill their little brains with knowledge.
Of course, it isn’t just the little ones. All of our children were home over the Summer. Now our daughter is a high school senior, two sons are in college, and one is in the SC Fire Academy. The house is much quieter than it was. Our food consumption has dropped rather significantly. And the driveway no longer looks like Cook-Out on Saturday night.
Education matters. We collectively spend billions of dollars on it across the country. It’s why we send our sons and daughters off to school from their early years. We pay taxes, educate teachers, save money for tuition and our kids vie for scholarship dollars.
