The First Day of School

Education
Edward Hessler

A few weeks ago I watched two YouTube videos on what the first day of school was like in Russia, elementary and secondary. There were some nice traditions to see unfold. Some pomp, some circumstance, some performance, and some ceremony.

HuffPost (I often refer to it as PoHuff, don't ask why because I don't know.) has 14 photographs showing the first day of school around the world.

This is an occasion to be honored no matter where in the world one lives.
