RODEO IS A THROWBACK TO SHAKESPEARE’S DAY
Share
PrintAugust 2018: At Buckin' Ohio Rodeo, we could imagine the olde days. Horses were the "Uber" vehicles for centuries. Shakespeare began as a horse valet at the theater.
Bull riding is not the bear-baiting that Shakespeare had to compete with. A bull ride lasts about 2.5 seconds! And the bull walks away

Fire Fuels the Desire to Inspire!Album posted Mar 24, 2015 Nial Pickering told our March meeting that he quit his hard-won teaching job in the English school system because students were graded strictly by test scores. Nial said, "As a science teacher, I wanted to inspire students to ask 'Why?' things happen in science and not just memorize for a test. I held fire in my hand to excite the minds of poor test-takers and misfits. It worked. Some of my 'misfits' have become a pilot, a nurse, and a teacher." He praised Gilmour, The Lyceum, Chagrin, Hudson and Hathaway Brown high schools for using creative teaching methods that instill life-long curiosity and confidence. Nial's next assignment will be at the International School in Shanghai, China. "The students are my boss and they want results," he said. Nial spoke to us as the ESU's international Page Scholar. |
