Newly Endangered Species: ChildsPlay

Obama, if kids could give you ratings, I believe your ratings just plummeted. MORE SCHOOL? The horror of it all! Life just got shorter. Childhood is doomed to die… I know it. What kind of man is this?!

But wait! Wait for me, my inner child. Who told you that childhood gets left behind when it comes to school? Did the friends you make tell you that? Was it in the notes you passed during conference hour? Was it The Gossip at the lunch table?

I bet childhood use to be the idea of playing out in the backyard with your friends and your neighbor’s dog, taking breaks for lemonade, having to be called in five times as dusk. But now, childhood seems a different thing. For me, my best childhood memories were with people I found at school. The lessons I learned came not only from the classroom, but also from the world that lived around the classroom.

Hey. Maybe my life is just me. But when childhood and education go hand-in-hand like they can do now, why not give the president man his due? Obama, me and my inner child support you.
