Pearls of Wisdom for the New School Year
Labor Day is straight ahead, and that means it’s Back to School season for kids, teachers, and administrators. The new school year creates the opportunity for dozens of new milestones. Below you’ll find a few milestones from a variety of categories that might be created this fall…
- Spelling Bee Winner (Awards)
- Dean’s List or Honor Roll (Awards)
- Fall Festival (Events)
- Football Champions (Athletics)
- Tenure Awards (Professional)
- ROTC News (Military)
We realize the road to these wonderful milestones can be uphill at times, so here are a few words of wisdom to get you in the right mood as the new school year begins!
- “But there are advantages to being elected President. The day after I was elected, I had my high school grades classified Top Secret.” –Ronald Reagan
- “The aim of education should be to teach us rather how to think, than what to think – rather to improve our minds, so as to enable us to think for ourselves, than to load the memory with thoughts of other men.” -Bill Beattie
- “To the uneducated, an A is just three sticks.” –A.A. Milne
- “Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity.” -Aristotle
We also asked a few folks to sum up school in 1-3 words. Here are a few of their responses…
- “Windows, not mirrors.” -Terri
- “Necessary Money Pit.” -Adam
- “Tough, fun, interesting.” -Jenn
- “Necessary, consuming, silly.” -Nicole
One of our followers who is currently in law school sums up education like this: “Windows, not mirrors.”
Good luck, everyone, and don’t forget that apple for the teacher!
