So true. Homework is not necessary. If teacher were better children would learn everything in class. I used to teach (language course for adults) and retention was much better when there was no stress of homework or tests.
There is way of teaching that imparts knowledge, rather than spitting of information.
Great photograph in every way ossible.

This little girl has captured my heart! Does she have parents? If she is an orphan I'll adopt her, now! I hope you can share more about her.
Your photography is AMAZING. I can not even put it in words how some of the captures grab us. But this girl is your icing on the cake. She reminds me of my niece a little bit, but this little soul is even more captivating. What a golden child she is! And what a precision in your capturing exactly that!

amazingly emotional photograph, the black and white you do really helps with portraying such emotions.

You know sometimes I don't get some members in this place! This portrait is full of textures! Can they not see that?? Everything in it but the background is textured. God forbid we go a bit below the surface as far as meaning and creativity.
After saying all that, I'll still hang around here for some reason anyway and one of those reasons is your photographs. They are full of love and life.
I wonder what you do with B&W to get them so crisp and fine.

Another great composition with excellent tones. The primary plane of focus on the hat rather than the face is cool!

really lovely shot. 91 huh i am going to start walking twice a day now so I look as good at that age. I really like how you have composed the shot though I am not a big fan of the extra black boarder (maybe its just me) and you have some white spots to clean up along the top edge. I would like to see this shot with not so much contrast just to see if that gives the face some extra character.
