Many of the young children who were interviewed after visiting the rotunda said that they were most impressed with the soldiers.

I saw/heard that. I was going to say something the other day and got sidetracked.

When I picked my son up from school on Monday, I noticed that the school hadn't lowered their flag to half mast. Shouldn't they have?

I recall one year when it was my duty to raise and lower the flag each day, that there was a time when I had to lower it ti half mast. I also recall having a television brought into the classroom when something important was going on. I remember a tv brought in for us to watch a space launch. (It was the launch where it caught fire and burned). But, I recall others over the years.

And I recall our teachers talking about 'current events'. I asked my son on Tuesday or Wednesday if any of his teachers had spoken of President Reagan and his death, and he said 'no'.

Have the schools really changed that much? I thought the Middle School was better than the elementary school since their concerts weren't so pc and all. But, I'm just so surprised that non of his teachers commented on the death of President Reagan. And that the flag had not been lowered. :(
