After exploring Flickr, I decided to pick this image uploaded by Jeffrey Stroup (
http://www.flickr.com/photos/uglyducklingxxx/). It is a darling image that almost every child (and adult) can relate with! THEY ARE RUBBER DUCKIES! Who doesn't love rubber duckies? They are the epitome of bath time just like the bubbles. Look at Ernie and his rubber duckie on Sesame Street! (Now that my inner child has shown through, I'm going to explain why I chose this image). It makes me think of the Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer that is shown on CBS every year at Christmastime that Burl Ives voices the singing Sam the Snowman. Anyway, I digress... This makes me think about the "Isle of the Misfit Toys" upon which the Charlie in the Box and Misfit Dolly live. These toys have been discarded and forgotten about. We love our toys as a child and then toss them aside, never to think about them again after a certain age. I feel like some parts of our education are the same way. Like diagramming sentences... Ick!
