i was a teacher and i remember the last week of school
a whole lot of nothing
sort of pointless
cant figure out why we had to be there
but if we got rid of it then it would just happen the week before
now my kids are in the throws of the pointless week of school
Island water park one day
board games the next
read and feed wednesday
cleaning your desk and the room
early release friday
pointless, i know, but sometimes being pointless is the point.
some of my favorite school memories are those pointless days-
heads up 7 up games
4 corners
silent ball
days where the plans is you have no plan
just hanging out with your classmates and teacher
enjoying each other after a year of work and purpose
so i'll try not to grumble this week
when i have to wake up to take the kids to school
or send another $10 for some activity
or weed through the piles of papers
and projects that all come home on the same day
Pointlessness has a point at times!
