Story Time

I don't know what to write.... I just feel like writing.

Last night my good friend Nate read me my homework. One chapter to be exact. He did voices, facials... the whole deal. It was great. I have to admit it was a lot better than reading it alone for sure.

Today in my class, as we were discussing the chapter that we had read, my teacher asked us when the last time was when we had actually sat down with a book, took notes, thought about it's content, applied it to our lives, and discussed it with others? The class was silent. He replied, "Sad isn't it."

It is sad! Why not do that? There is so much to learn! Books have so much to offer! Why not ask questions and try to understand? It's just like TV but better and useful and not TV. :) I mean, here, we can sit around the TV, watch it for hours, be taught insignificant importances and not really even apply it personally to ourselves or even discuss it with others.

I don't know. I like books. I liked that Nate read me that chapter.

Why quit having "story time" in elementary?... I still enjoy it.
