New Aviation Charter Academy to open here in Grand Rapids Michigan.
Ok I’m not the greatest fan of flying but to read this article about a school that will be centered around aviation could be a good thing. There are lots of “dreamers” out there who would need a different kind of stimuli than sitting in the classroom. No 2 kids are alike so there are times we have to meet them at “their” needs. We need to exercise the brain that the good Lord gave them. It’s not like the old “reading, writing and arithmetic”. Old school ways would be to say we’re doing it this way and if they don’t like it lump it. It’s called keeping them motivated so they can be productive members of society. There are approximately 60 students starting in the fall of 2010.
Now the article says the “school” will be located at Gerald R Ford International Airport. I can see it now. Heading south on Patterson Ave SE towards the airport and being buzzed by a 16 year old in a Piper Cherokee or something similar. No I’m just kidding. I definitely hope that never happens. The world is changing and we must adapt and change with it. Remember the infancy of the internet. There was radical change when that came about. I remember my children showing me things that I knew nothing about in the mid 90’s. The children of today are the future of tomorrow. If we keep our heads in the sand how much further back could or would we be? Of course there will be naysayers and that’s ok. There are times we can’t decide on the time of day so should this be any different? I think not. You never know there could be a fighter pilot or an astronaut in the group and then we could say “we knew him/her when they were kids in our community. Only time will tell.
