I recently spent a day shadowing my daughter who is a freshman in a local public high school.

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.
