Sometimes, not often but sometimes, i wonder about the other children i knew & knew of, waaaaaaaaaay back in Primary School, & ponder how many are happy, sad, cis, trans, het, gay / lesbian, jailed, dead.

A anecdote for the day:
In 10th grade English class, on the fourth of March (never mind what year, wiseass) with just moments of pre-class prep in the hall, we went into the classroom, sat down, one person asked the teacher what the date was. "March fourth" he said. We obliged by getting up in unison and walking out. 
Kim Hyatt wrote a followup to her story about Third Graders Day—
Third-grade classrooms across the state held parties Monday, all thanks to Karen Wadena.
“I feel really good. My mom’s proud of me,” the 9-year-old said at the end of the busy school day.
It all started when Wadena noticed there was a National Fourth Graders Day, but not a day for third-graders. She thought it wasn’t fair and decided to write to Gov. Tim Walz in a letter to the editor that appeared in the Minnesota Star Tribune in early February.
“I saw how the fourth grade was having fun on their day this year. Some people in other grades were saying it was unfair. Some people were saying it was fair because that is their day. That is what made me think, “Woah, can we have a National Third Graders Day?”

www.startribune.com · Move over, fourth-graders. Today is Third Graders Day, thanks to Minnesota girl.Girl from White Earth Nation asked nicely, and Gov. Tim Walz proclaimed Monday a nod to students known for “their natural optimism, curiosity, enthusiasm.”
I experienced a lot of homophobia in my career as a teacher, from co-workers, but I always loved the children. #publiceducation #education #publicschools #school #schooldays #1970s #twentiethcentury #bigotry #homophobia #gay #civilrights #students #students #reading #Math

I was only 6 months old when this was released, so I'm going way back for my contribution this week.
"School Days" by Chuck Berry.
Lil Nas X - Sun Goes Down
CW depression, loneliness and self harm were all thoughts during his high school years. He's doing better years later. High school is tough for many kids.
"School Days" for Jukebox Friday Night, and some of those days are filled with ennui …
Buzzcocks, "Boredom" (1977)
This is the band fronted by Howard Devoto, before he went off to form Magazine later the same year.
"School Days" for Jukebox Friday Night: Know these words?
"The present curriculum, I put my fist in 'em
Eurocentric, every last one of 'em
See right through the red, white, and blue disguise
With lecture I puncture the structure of lies
Installed in our minds and attempting to hold us back
We've got to take it back …"
Some f-bombs etc. in this one –
Rage Against the Machine, "Take the Power Back" (1992)
During our late teens, some of us are pretty confident of ourselves. For guys, you become a man (still in school, though!), so for the theme of "School Days" on Jukebox Friday Night, a Muddy Waters' tune –
Jimi Hendrix, "Mannish Boy" (1969)
"Now I'm a man,
made twenty-one …"
Billy Cox on bass, Buddy Miles on drums (but not yet Band of Gypsys), and recorded at New York's Record Plant on 22 Apr 1969.
Jukebox Friday Night and the theme of "School Days" … high school days in co-ed school …
Junior Wells' Chicago Blues Band, "Good Morning Schoolgirl" (1965)
"Good morning, little schoolgirl,
can I go home with you?
Tell your mother and your poppa,
I'm a little schoolboy too
Baby, I love you this morning,
I can't help myself
Come on now pretty baby,
I don't need nobody else …"

January 31st, 2024, is Jukebox Friday Night with the theme "School Days".
School days can be hard, but still you're growing up.
Another David Bowie song …
"Never got lost on this road before
Never saw a scene on the street before
Never got chose with the rest of the boys
So I must have needed something more …"
Mick Ronson, "Growing Up and I'm Fine" (1974)
Jukebox Friday Night for Jan 31, 2025 (yup, one out of twelve down) has a theme from Jeff Smith (@sumisu3), "School Days", because Aotearoa/New Zealand's school year starts about now.
And if the homework brings you down,
then we'll throw it on the fire and take the car downtown …
David Bowie, "Kooks" (1971)
The Aquabats! - Pizza Day (at school) (live) 
The #JukeboxFridayNight theme is #SchoolDays today and Hot For Teacher with its the over-the-top, of-its-time video popped straight into my head.

For the record: I went to an all boys school and was educated by priests. At no point do these lyrics reflect anything personally for me from that time.
AKB48 - Sakura no Ki ni Narō 桜の木になろう / AKB48 [公式] - "Let's Become Cherry Blossom Trees"
Lovely song of looking back on school days. Translation in captions
Nirvana - School (Live)
No recess!
(lots of guitar, few lyrics repeated)
Venom - Teacher's Pet
(live and crude)
same crude theme continues in
Venom - Skool Daze (audio only)
