State schools (also known as public schools, though not in England and Wales) generally refer to primary or secondary schools mandated for or offered to all children without charge, funded in whole or in part by taxation. The term may also refer to public institutions of post-secondary education.
State education includes basic education, kindergarten to twelfth grade, also referred to as primary and secondary education, as well as post-secondary educational institutions such as universities, colleges, and technical schools funded and overseen by government rather than private entities.
State education is inclusive, both in its treatment of students and in that enfranchisement for the government of public education is as broad as for government generally. It is often organized and operated to be a deliberate model of the civil community in which it functions. Although typically provided to groups of students in classrooms in a central school, it may be provided in-home, employing visiting teachers,and/or supervising teachers. It can also be provided in non-school, non-home settings, such as shopping mall space.
The Tenmile River (formerly State School) Metro-North Railroad station serves the residents of Amenia, New York via the Harlem Line. About every two hours trains depart bound for Southeast which connect to trains for New York City with service to Grand Central Terminal. It is 80 miles (130 km) from Grand Central Terminal and travel time to Grand Central is approximately two hours, nine minutes.
This station is the next northernmost station in the Zone 10 Metro-North fare zone. It is located on Sinpatch Road(Dutchess CR 5), next to the crossing of the creek, a short distance east of NY 22/343. Tenmile River is named for the waterway of the same name adjacent to the station and is in nearly the same spot as the State School station (named for a nearby institution for the developmentally disabled, now Taconic Developmental Center) which was closed with Penn Central's abandonment of passenger service north of Dover Plains in 1972.
This station was re-opened with the Wassaic train station on July 9, 2000. North of Dover Plains was Penn Central territory in 1972 and was mainly used for freight. After departing Dover, the train would cross the State School Station, which the Indians knew as "Weebutook", and not far after that, arrive at a small shelter with the sign reading "State School" at Mile Post 78.90. In addition to the few passengers that came to visit the New York State-operated juvenile correctional facility, the major amount of railroad traffic was involved the shipments of soft coal on a regular basis. On any average day numerous carloads were moved in and empties switched out. Similar to the renaming of the State Facility at Wingdale, reflecting the vogue of the era, the State School was renamed the "Wassaic Developmental Center" in the late 1970s.
Let my arms be a tree
Let my eyes be a bee
Let my hair be
A bed of roses
Let my lips kiss the ocean
Let my feet feed
An earthworm
Let my ears feed a beetle
Let my thights feed a wolf
Let my nose be a plum
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
About a bit of earthly pain
Let my heart be
An orchard of artichokes
Let my chest be
A bridge of Mesquite
Let my cock feed a crow
Let my stomach feed
A flock of geese
Oh it's the sweet cycle of life
Oh yes it's the
Sweet cycle of life
Well who am I to complain
Are we not one and
The same
Let me celebrate my life
In the way that I want to
In a feast of all the pieces
That were meant to be used
