Current Goal

This bug wants to travel from cache to cache, from school to school, to spread the word about geocaching to the next generation. It represents some of the problems present in the education community today, and it suggests that we need the tools to fix these problems.

About This Item

Drop Forged TB before leaving on its mission

I found this bad boy in the parking lot of the Littlest Librarian’s elementary school. I thought it was the perfect symbol of the problems facing education today and offered a solution.

The wrench has no indication of its size. It looks to be roughly 3/8ths of an inch, but it could be 5/16ths or 7/16ths, it could be 7, 8, or 9 millimeters. There is no way to know. With no indication of size, there is no way to know if, or when this wrench will be useful.

As a parent and a teacher, I am concerned with the problems in public education today: the many band wagons being hopped upon; the idiocy of “No child left behind,” but we ain’t going to give the schools no money; the lousy pay teachers receive (I am not in the public system anymore, so this is not as self-serving as it may seem.); the disrespect Americans have for anything and all things intellectual; etc.

I am concerned about the one-size-fits-all approach that too often seems to drive public education. Like the wrench with no indication of size, it seems that one-size-fits-none is a better way to describe this approach.
