Natonal Western Stock Show
Jon's fifth grade class got to go to the National Western Stock Show today. The highlights of his day were attending a professional rodeo and getting to meet a real rodeo clown, who told the children about his profession. Jon was really jazzed. He gave me a play-by-play of his whole day, something he does not do when cooped up in a classroom all day. Boys need to move around and physically experience hands-on the subject matter.

I've always felt our educational system is unfair to boys in that respect. I didn't suffer too much being by nature a more analytical and can sit for hours kind of person. But I have friends mostly boys who just couldn't. Meant nothing more than they needed to be moving. Seems to me by 2011 we should have figured this out.
