The Spirit of Education
The Spirit of Education by Norman Rockwell is a painting of a mother and son. She is wrapping a banner around him that says "The Spirit of Education", the young boy looks really upset. The boy is dressing in what looks like Olympian clothing, with a torch that symbolizes success. The mother is proud to be dressing her son and sending him to school to make him successful young man. The boy looks like every kid does when they learn that school is not all fun and games anymore. There is a point in a kids life when they realize that school actually includes work and I think that is why he is holding a book.

Thats a good point. I would probably look the same way if I was him. I think parents sometimes push too hard to get their students to like school.
Nice comment about the torch! I like that. Very interesting and great perspective.
I liked what you said about the Olympian clothing I did not even think of that.
I agree! He looks disappointed and not looking forward to school at all. But the mom is so proud of her son and she looks forward to his future success.
Put your heart, mind, and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success. See the link below for more info.
