True. He seems like such an upright person, and I remember thinking as I watched his presentation that it should be an important part of a school curriculum. Our schools here were so backward that we pulled our kids out and homeschooled them. It was wonderful, and I was a full-time homemaker anyway. Can you believe that our town here built two new schools and screwed up on both? One was fully finished before they realized they had forgotten a library, so they added a small one at the back of the gymnasium. My grammar school through grade eight had a library wall in every classroom, and students were allowed to choose books from the higher grades. So my kids went from a house with a well-equipped library to a school which looked down on intelligence and books.

The other school here was built with windows that could not be opened. Then they learned that there was no money for the needed air conditioning.
