I think I am ready to step into a time machine and emerge in Estonia as a high school student, or a middle schooler. NB: the article also mentions universal free school lunches for all students.
WTF America? Where are we U.S.ians headed, where is our future if we are not taking the time and resources to set our kids up for a healthy, educated adulthood?
Kids only need to grow up to work in warehouses or fast food joints or other menial jobs. No need for the population to be happy, educated and creative-that way lies rebellion from the status quo!

Muy fabulosa! Thanks for posting this!
Doesnât that mean the World will end? Or am I thinking of Cologne cathedral?
I donât travel much but one day I will go to see this.
Well, thank fuck for that!!!
I noticed the tower in Ulm was mentioned. James and Mike, our German friends in Jamaica, were from Ulm. We also met a pair of tourists from Ulm. Dieter told us about Ulmâs having the worldâs tallest church tower, so mom teased him about living in a tourist trap He said it requires constant maintenence due to its age and size: once they finish the work at the top, itâs time to begin work on the bottom again.
Mom said, âWell, we also have one of the worldâs largest things in Detroit!â and Dieterâs face fell. His expression was one of, âOh, great. The yankâs gonna brag, like they always doâŠâ
She said, âWe have the worldâs largest garbage incinerator!â
Dieter was shocked for a sec, and then cracked up.
We were more than happy to dismantle his prejudices re: yanks, and amuse the fuck out of him during the process. We had a lot of fun together once he found out we were intelligent, and that Iâd brought such great music. He worked at his familyâs 500+ year old hotel, and obviously had too many bad experiences with yankistani tourists.

Anyway, the belltower stands as tall as a fully stacked Saturn V ready to go which is really impressive when you stand next to it, and a handy topographical marker when youâre a way away from it.
Itâs also really pretty.
Take that, Billy Joel!!
If you didnât have to google that (for spelling, if nothing else) then my hatâs off to you!
