Project 365 - Day 1




Yep! Trying this again.. This is a shelf in our schoolroom. I wanted to make sure I didn't miss the first day! :) However, I admit, this picture is uninspired. Project 365 is where you take a pic every day for a year. I might not post one every day.. but I do plan to take one every day. I'll label all of the posts appropriately!

The quote does match the schoolroom theme.

“The United States is the outlier — it’s the place that is strange. All of the Western European countries and Canada have school choice. They don’t always call it vouchers but they have it. If you lived in Winnipeg you could go to any private, public or parochial school and the province pays. They have choice. They have choice in Sweden — socialist Sweden has choice: vouchers for going to religious schools, private schools, public schools. Only the United States has this system where all the money just goes to the government-owned schools. It’s unusual. It’s weird. It’s not sustainable in the long run. Eventually choice will catch on.” – John O. Norquist, Former mayor of Milwaukee
