I saw this sign on the way to a school earlier this week. I guess this is what you call a “sign of the times.” I was telling a fellow teacher about this sign and she told me that she knew of other schools who had begun the count down on the first day of school. Hmmmm, I find the sign truly depressing.

I’d rather see a sign with this quote from William Butler Yeats:

“Education is not the filling of a pail but the lighting of a fire.”
