learning

The lockdown has me thinking about school. I know some parents are worried that school-from-home is going to ruin their children for life. My own parents went to some lengths to make sure their kids got a quality education. And maybe (probably) this is a sign of extreme privilege, but I just can't get worked up about this. The kids are missing out socially, I know, and that's hard. But once they've struggled through their schoolwork, they have time to just play, and stuff like this happens, and it seems more important than good grades.

It's the popcorn army, ready for battle. Those toothpick things are catapults; the king is at the very front surrounded by his guards. Tomorrow we are supposed to pop the king so that he appears more regal.
