The Fourth Turning

In a 1997 book called The Forth Turning by Neil Howe and William Strauss, a generational theory is presented which concludes that every 80 to 100 years we start a new era of sorts.

Going to school

(This week we are rerunning former editor Mike Brown’s column about back to school from Aug. 20, 2020. It’s amazing to us how far we have NOT come. We are back to square one with the Delta variant, and school is starting again during a huge spike in cases just like in 2020. We all know what happened last year and nobody wants a repeat of that. And the Delta variant is far more easily spread. We have nearly surpassed Milam County’s highest ever number of COVID cases from December 2020. Please send your kids to school with masks on so we don’t go back to homeschooling by Zoom classes. The Reporter hopes the students, teachers and parents have a much more normal year in 2021.)
