That’s a tough one. I bet some of you haven’t thought about it in a very long time, if at all. What to wear? Your fancy pants or your smarty pants? The Boomlennial, I fear, often gets in a rut. You have your days mapped out in an unmemorable way. But now that I’ve given you homework, step up your game. Speaking of homework (I know I know we’re not), I attended Grandparent’s Day at my wees school and it was amazing. The teaching methods were way beyond anything anybody has experienced. Yes, anybody. (I speak for the world). Gone are the big fat pencils and wide-lined paper. No rows of desks, but tables where the kids can move around and sit where they want. No chalkboards but big screens in the front of the room where the magic happens, and it does. I had a blast. The kids all have ‘tablets’ which my wee had to correct me when I went the wrong direction in my thinking. Yes, yes, I get it. Like an IPad. I know I know. (Did my wee wee roll her eyes worriedly?) They have PIN numbers and usernames and more bells and whistles then the building. It would be hard Not to learn. The ‘games’ had my mind churning and I wanted to keep playing/learning. Who knew That could be so fun? Next the big screen has you up singing and dancing and panting while you’re making a Purple stew with your virtual friends with wonderful Purple ingredients that would make Prince downright giddy, and I don’t think giddy was his forte. No wonder the wees love school! I’m sure because of the audience they were showcasing the very good stuff, but it was so natural for the kids. ‘Screen time’ gets a bad wrap, but I need to give it a rest. This is the world. And I do love it, but somehow I thought the good old days were still happening, even though I got my business degree from Google. The kids still have their ten spelling words a week, but can practice on the ‘tablet’ instead of the tablet which would have been a mess of erasure marks. Sooooo, I meandered a bit there. Have you been thinking about your perfect date?? I’d have to say April 29th. It’s not too hot and not too cold. All you need is a light jacket. #toocoolforschool
