Vanderven Taken with permission from Clarion Vol. Though we don't go to school with our children, our concerns do. While some children love school and breeze through, others have a more difficult time. Schooling takes up a large chunk of our lives as children and adults.
Children spend more than twelve years in school in one way or another.
As innocent grade one students, they hopscotch to their classroom, perhaps annoyed that they cannot read yet after their first day in school. Teenagers worry about school and its related social issues, especially personal acceptance. Possibilities for the future often seem to depend on how well we do in school a diploma can open doors. Young adults experience a range of emotions and worries about themselves as persons, and about their future careers. Parents also live with the fact that school demands much parental attention.
