Tawanda,
ReplyDeleteI think the quotes you picked are right on the money. This country has to get serious about its youth, and especially the very young, if our country is to maintain its strength and integrity. We have to ensure that all children are given equal opportunity.
Tawanda, I liked Lyndon Johnson's quote: Education is not a problem. Education is an opportunity. I found this quote interesting because everybody has an opportunity to become educated. The actual problem is; some people do not take education serious, do not have the guided support that is needed, and or are ignorant to receiving something of such that is given for free. Everybody NEEDS to become educated, because it is hard to become successful in a world like today without being knowledgeable.
ReplyDeleteHi Tawanda,
ReplyDeleteI love the quotes you chose.I do believe that a lack of tools, is the reason children struggle in school. My prayer, is that we as educators, provide them with all they need to be successful.
