You know we’ve done more than our usual amount of socializing when Maya says, “I think I need a break from seeing my friends.”

The weekend was great, and extended into today.   3 overnights in a row for Maya, one for Ben, art class today followed by playing at Riverside Park and another play date for Ben and then all of us went to dinner at a friends’ house for Sukkot.     My kids’ perfect weekend, but we are all more than a little exhausted as a result.

Because of that, please enjoy John Gatto, telling us a little bit about the origins of public schooling in the U.S.      I’m going to get some rest….
