The students started back to school today at MMA and Adams School in Castine. How can that be? Labor Day is still a week from now. It seems strange to me. Our schools when growing up waited properly until after Labor Day and we became reasonably well educated. I doubt that school extending beyond Memorial Day and starting before Labor Day really does much to educate. Maybe more camps and free time (supervised free time if needed) where children can dream? What about lying on the grass and allowing the crisper air of oncoming autumn tease you into a fantasy from and of pure imagination. I have a big belief in unencumbered time, especially in late August, the ultimate last month of Summer.
