Video by ShareBear64.

Video: The video opens to a wooden sign painted with a mural of an old schoolhouse. The camera pans to the back of the sign, which reveals two doors closed with a padlock. A geocacher opens the doors; inside are several compartments labeled with various classroom-themed titles such as “playtime,” “music class,” and “advanced math.” The geocacher holds up a pin that says “All I really needed to know I learned in kindergarten.”
