If I had the power I swear I'd pass a law saying you can't run for office (local, state, federal) unless you did a 3-month compulsory service in a public school.

It's not just to force politicians to acknowledge that teachers are doing a difficult job but also for them to see kids are not stupid idiots.

Fuck AI and Big Military, education is where we should invest billions.

The truth is that I couldn't get them to listen to me or even to stay with me.

Sure, that was frustrating... but for me only!
They were taking pictures, asking questions, pointing out stuff that I didn't think of and I even heard a few "Whoaa!".

So yeah, my "Story Telling in Art" tour went out the window but as long as these kids left thinking museums are cool (or whatever word kids use these days) I consider it a success.
