In a hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in or the type of car I drove but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child.
These were the words I kept on the wall in my office. I looked at them regularly. They summed up some of my philosophy in education.
Every child matters. We make our children more human. We can change the future and build a better world. The kids we teach are tomorrow’s hope.
Give them love and wings.
Yes, I will do that in my classroom. Every day.
Good on you Jennie.
You’re one of those special teachers who does that every day, Jennie!
Sounds like it to me John.
Thank you for your kind words, John.
Amen! Though I’d add roots to your line up there because when we forget where we come from it’s far to easy to drift into all kinds of bad situations and lifestyles… Just my opinion.
Right on Cheryl. Without firm ground you can’t reach.
