<\/p>\nThe boys have continued with their teleschooling as schools in Missouri have been closed for the rest of the year. They’ve been a little, erm, lax about turning in their work on time, but that’s not really been much of a change since the teleschooling began.<\/p>\n
One of the young men was charged with creating a model of the ear for his science class, and he of course did not begin it until the week after it was due. He built a small model out of Sculpey and pipe cleaners, but the first try was rejected, and he built it again. Which was accepted.<\/p>\n

Now that we’ve gotten that out of the way, we can use it in our art history unit on Van Gogh.<\/p>\n
You know, that gag worked better on Facebook. Just the picture and the punchline. BOOM!<\/p>\n

\n Their flag to April\u2019s breeze unfurled,
\nHere once the embattled farmers stood
\n And fired the shot heard round the world.<\/p>\n
\n Alike the conqueror silent sleeps;
\nAnd Time the ruined bridge has swept
\n Down the dark stream which seaward creeps.<\/p>\n
\n We set today a votive stone;
\nThat memory may their deed redeem,
\n When, like our sires, our sons are gone.<\/p>\n
\n To die, and leave their children free,
\nBid Time and Nature gently spare
\n The shaft we raise to them and thee.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
