I recently spent a day shadowing my daughter who is a freshman in a local public high school. The high school that she goes to is considered one of the better high schools within the district (made me cringe to think what must be happening in the schools that are considered bad). An interesting twist on my attendence is that this was the same high school that I graduated from; however, as the saying goes, ‘this is not your father’s high school’. —“Michael_the_Archangel —Bill Gates Urges High School Restructure (Michael_the_Archangel)
This blog entry isn’t really about Bill Gates, but rather about what a father learned by visiting his daughter’s high school. Via joannejacobs.com.
