You know thinking about private schools, my folks did a lot of teaching me at home and put me in a Christian based Kindergarten at 4 1/2 so when it came to 1st grade the public schools wouldn't let me in cause I was 5 1/2 you had to be 6 so back to the Christian school. It was called Kings Garden curriculum included Bible study and praying, YES praying in school. I had a great old lady for first grade and during recess I would stay in and she worked on teaching me cursive writing, gave me extra time. So when it came to second grade they decided to skip me one grade. So I was 6 in third grade and all the others were 8. I got so much tormenting from the other kids and the teacher I used to go home and cry not wanting to go back to school so my folks talked them into putting me back in second.
The school was strange it was more like a community. They had K-12 and old folks home, tunnels between different areas of the school. It's still there with their own PO, Nursing home. And talk about strict. We went on a card system. You started out with a white card, if you got in trouble the 1st was an Orange card, I don't remember the time in between but if you got in trouble during that time again went to a red card and one more time you lost it and went to the principals office who had an assortment of paddles. I remember going by there one day and a kid who was always in trouble was out on the porch and the principal had a paddle he could hold on to with both hands that had holes in it. He hit that kid and the kid went down on his .... and started spinning around screaming. Needless to say I didn't get that far.

I'm guessing you are wanting a quad that will be used with a camera for checking crops or surveying areas. If you have access to FaceBook look for the group OKC Drones. Don Price is the person who set it up. He is extremely knowledgable about drones. He has local Meet and Greets and allows other to fly his drones, not that you would be able to come to any (LOL). Anyway, I am sure he can help point you to a drone that will suit you.Quadcopter shopping makes my head hurt.
So many features, so many decisions, so many prices ranges...
Been on the computer and going at it hard since before daylight this morning... and no closer to making a choice. Gonna take a blank sheet of printer paper and a sharp Ticonderoga #2 and make notes - my Drone 102 education has begun.
My wife and I went shopping yesterday. Walmart, Goodwill, gas fill-up, and last, Tractor Supply - where we bought 6 chicks, a heat lamp, and some biddy feed!
Now, I gotta go patch up the chicken coop.
I went to public schools for third grade. Wanted to be with the neighborhood kids. The one time I got in trouble it was for, in the tunnels they had a light switch at both ends. You were supposed to turn them on at one end. When I was 6 they seemed like a mile long. One day we waited for some girls to get in the middle of the tunnel and turned off the lights. Went to an Orange card that day. If I would've stayed there and would have stayed in the skipped grade I would've graduated high school at 16 if I wouldn't have skipped anymore. I was looking at it on the internet and 98% of the kids that graduate there go to college. That's pretty impressive for the times.
Good thing that doesn't happen here and Iffy was the principal, I'd be in for swats all the time.
Yep unlike UW who can put nearly everything into words and even tell it to people so eloquently. Plus most understand it. Quite a trait to have.OMW Pat! That also fits me perfectly!
Ah yes, Pat, da ol' dreaded weekly 'behavior/scholar' color coded card system (2nd-9th parochial school fer moi) to be signed by parents and returned fer verification of delivery to said parents...
Gold - angel fer a very loooong week (nun's favorite/pet)
Blue - acceptable/average (ducked da nun's scrutiny)
Yellow - acquire a nun's non-gold 'attention' attitude (AKA no sense of fun/humor)
Pink - azz in crack/azz whack/azz match card color (parental 'attitude adjustment')
And yepper, I somehow 'managed' to collect da full four color 'rainbow spectrum'...

Yeah Ginny went to Catholic school and she says those Nuns could dish it out. That's part of whats wrong with our kids today no whacks and everybody wins a ribbon.
Teachers always used to touch their students with a hand on the back when they were helping you figure out how to prove a therom. I had the greatest math teacher in high school I was in the advance math class called UICSM because thats where the books and curriculum came from University of Illinois Committee on School Mathematics my teach was an ex engineer from Boeing. They called him chalk man. He always had the curtains closed and temp to 65 someone would fall asleep and he would throw his chalk at them but he was always covered with chalk. He'd go down the black board proving something which most of us were going how does he know all this. By the end of the class he would have both chalk board covered with letters and numbers and symbols.

It's funny the one thing I remember is he would be proving something and would say because of modus ponens this is then true. We all were trying to get it and by the end of the year we had to prove 50 of them. Me and a frind worked together and our papers were over 50 pages long. I wouldn't be able to remember any of it now but modus ponen always stuck in my mind. Here is the definition.
the rule of logic stating that if a conditional statement (“if p then q ”) is accepted, and the antecedent ( p ) holds, then the consequent ( q ) may be inferred.
the rule of logic stating that if a conditional statement (“if p then q ”) is accepted, and the antecedent ( p ) holds, then the consequent ( q ) may be inferred.
- an argument using modus ponens.
