I Went To School Once!

Once upon a time, I went to school too! Good old one room country school…nothing like it anymore! Kids just don’t learn like they used to!

Of course, today, everything is being done on computers, and we are taking pictures of Saturn over one billion miles away; and television is beamed on satellites around the world; and what used to be world geography to us, is now daily newspaper material!

Too bad, the kids today couldn’t have the advantages we had of those gas lamps and outdoor plumbing. Boy, were those the good ol’ days!

Come to think about it…they weren’t all that good! Maybe I am rationalizing a bit. Education today can’t be all bad! After all, doctors go back for more of it…ministers have requirements for continuing education…school teachers must take extra classes to keep in shape!

Is it possible my skills as a Sunday School teacher could be improved with a little extra training? Would I as a church member benefit by recent understandings of Scripture? Is it possible that I’m just getting too judgmental about others, and really need to do some growing myself, in order to keep up with this rapidly changing world?

How about a little up-to-date school for some of us too? Who wants to let the kids get all the credit? Think I’ll check into one of the fine Sunday School classes today, or find a Bible course that meets my needs, or a Lab School to sharpen my skills. After all, education isn’t just for kids!
