RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

WHEN I WAS A KID

When I was a kid, we had to cover our school books in a prescribed manor.  Heavy brown paper - folded and taped inside but not taped to the book itself.  The books were precious.  We were strictly forbidden to put a mark in or on them.  We could write on the brown paper cover - appropriately.

I read an article recently that explained that school kids in Japan had to clean their school.  Not just once in a while but all the time.  Some did the class rooms, some the halls and others the cafeteria and assembly hall. The schools over there don't employ cleaning people - the kids do it all.  For this reason, the students have a greater respect for their school and not a one wants to get it dirty.  What a great idea.
