Sitting in the hot tub earlier this evening, my girlfriend and I happened upon a number of folks. One thing led to another, and we began talking about public education.
Each of us comes from different states, and thus we have different perspectives on how our country is doing with public education. We discussed how, overall, our government is…and isn’t…the whole education thing. Then we discussed how our individual states are and aren’t addressing public education woes.
It was interesting to hear each person’s perspective on education. How diverse each of our states handles it. Then we went on to talk about how education is handled in other countries. It was then we stood in agreement that overall, the United States is far outranking the rest of the world when it comes to education.
Just about then, a man came around, informing us that the pool area was closing. Everyone got out of the hot tub and dried off. Pausing to say our good-byes, we expressed how wonderful it had been to share our separate knowledge and to compare our thoughts, having our discussion end on the positive note that the US is doing a good job—over all—with education.
