"Service is the rent we pay for being. It is the very purpose of life, and not something you do in your spare time." - Marian Wright Edelman

The average child asks 200-300 questions a day. So if an elementary school teacher has 20 students, they are asked a minimum of 4,000 questions a day… 4,000!

If your partner/spouse is an elementary school teacher, THIS is why they don’t want any questions when they get home.

“America is not like a blanket - one piece of unbroken cloth, the same color, the same texture, the same size. America is more like a quilt - many patches, many pieces, many colors, many sizes, all woven and held together by a common thread.” - Jesse Jackson ❤️🙌🏾

“Everything we do has a political charge and the division between politics and aesthetics is entirely erroneous.” - Sanja Ivekovic, artist

[Dr. James Whitfield @DrJamesWhit]

It’s easy to see the bad, the negative, the ills of society. There is no shortage of reporting on those. But I encourage us all to look for, and be, the good. It’s out there. All around us. It’s in each of us. Don’t fall victim to apathy and frustration. Lean in to love. 7/9

Gosh we really need to redefine “writing” in schools.

Kids who read for pleasure build better vocabularies, empathy, decision-making, and social skills. They also write better.
