There's an elephant in a china shop.<br />Someone says "The store owner should not have let the elephant in."<br />Another says,"Who fed the elephant so much food that it got to be so big!"<br />Yet another says, "It's the trainer/owner's fault because they should have kept better control of their elephant"<br />And one more adds, "Whose going to pay for all the damage the elephant is causing"<br /><br />No one is saying, "The elephant really needs to get out of that store....let's figure out a way to do that."<br /><br />Our kids and our teachers are really not doing well at school. Let's figure out a way to make people's lives better. Everyone is very good at labelling and blaming, but no one wants to actually fix the problem.<br /><br />This piece just really exemplified that for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4184539467031647989.post-19293655761510672962011-05-22T09:20:20.913-07:002011-05-22T09:20:20.913-07:00Can I reiterate here that "education" sh...Can I reiterate here that "education" should NOT be compulsory?? Can we just acknowledge that not every family values the same thing the schools do? I don't get why families should be punished up to $500 PER DAY because they don't jolly well want the kid in school.<br /><br />Let the people be free! :(Happy Elf Mom (Christine)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15047347624037697311noreply@blogger.com
