There are Days
There are days that I feel like doing what the dog in the picture is doing, but this is an article about some special days that seems to be like holidays. We all know and observe days like Mother's Day and Father's Day, but did you also know that there's a day for children and grandparents. There are the federal holidays of Veteran's and President's Day, which the latter is coming up very soon for there is also an Armed Forces Day and a Patriot Day, as well as days for particular people or groups of people as Martin Luther King Day and Juneteenth that are also federal holidays, and I almost forgot about Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day even though they are not federal days but are still days that various groups celebrate every year even like the one that just passed Valentine's Day for all kinds of relationships. I know there is Christmas Day, New Year's Day, Easter Sunday, Thanksgiving Day, Memorial Day and Independence Day and even Canada Day on the calendar, but these days are for everyone just about for the days I mentioned earlier are ones that usually do not get 'celebrated' quite as much with television specials and things like that. If any readers have anything that they want to share or want to mention a day I forgot please comment it would really be appreciated.

The education system is often painted as the ultimate path to success, a place where young minds are shaped, knowledge is imparted, and futures are built. But beneath this polished surface lies a reality that is far darker—one filled with stress, outdated practices, and a system that often seems designed to crush creativity rather than foster it.

What is a book?
What is a book? A book is an object by which learn as in a schoolbook. A book could also be a reference book when one needs to find interesting subjects to write about. Books are also meant to be enjoyed for there are picture books, fiction books, and poetry books to read for fun and enjoyment and still have fun reading. I still love the phrase I learned in Teacher education one learns to read then reads to learn. Books to hold in your hand or even eBooks are great places to escape from the world for a while.
