Bliss by Harry Bliss for March 07, 2018

In other words, “son, you won’t need any of this once you get out of school.”

I doubt I could successfully complete an Algebra problem. OTOH, I still use and enjoy German.

That’s why you want to be an electrician, or a mechanic.

I forgot everything I used to remember, learned or not.

Best thing I ever did was tell my kids they can’t lean on me for homework, it is their responsibility. I’ll help direct them and serve as a sounding board, but they have to learn it. One went on to be Summa Cum Laude in college.

After all, it was a very busy summer vacation.

Use it or lose it.

This might be the most accurate portrayal of parenthood that I’ve ever seen.

While a person may not use the calc or trig after graduation, learning them helped the individual to think! I still use my German and French; Latin, not so much. I find the education I received in Chicago parochial schools more than 50 years ago prepared me well for university studies. My wife echoes these sentiments.
