I attended a power breakfast this morning.
Neither Presidential nor Congressional.
Only elementary honor students and designated parents.
Something about “the magic”.
New Report System (Most improved etc… as opposed to traditional A,B,C grading).
I am proud of my daughter.
She exhibits all the traits of an up and coming Asian student (the model minority). Tiger Mom, you know (translation: I got “Tiger” spouse).
Just then did I notice Bonnie from Penn State, and how she was introduced as one “who knows every student by name”.
That’s a tall order to know each kid and affirm them.
Where would we be today without those “Bonnie’s”.
I am a TK (Teacher kid).
I know the price a TK has to pay (as his mom was at service of thousands of other kids).
Mom, could you tug me to bed (instead of grading school papers late into the evening).
Society is highly hypocritical when it comes to children’s right and
pet’s right etc…
But as soon as we grow up, Bam! we got put into boxes (in California, latest census measures showed ” alarming decline of non-Hispanic white group etc…”).
Indignez Vous?
The author of the above title also joint-authored the UN Human Right charter. Still going strong at 93. Still fighting with every liter of hot blood.
I want to leave behind two beautiful kids, who will give so much to the sustainability of spaceship Earth.
It’s always noble of parents to say they want better lives for their children. This was true with my Mom.
Now it’s my turn.
Have you ever paid attention to the hyphen (-) key on top line of the key board.
We all are “hyphens” in between generations, not “dumb” nodes.
We adapt, evolve and discriminate (in a good sense), to uplift and elevate next generations. Net-Geners will have longer life expectancy, but conversely,
they will bear the brunt of financial and environmental burden.
I felt sorry for having bought the water bottle trend back in the 90’s.
For you, perhaps, the SUV‘s.
Global warming wasn’t the act perpetrated by any single person.
The school handed out my child’s honor roll.
But it’s our responsibility to make sure she get breakfast roll, without accompanied toxicity.
America is still number one in some areas, among them, obesity and rate of incarceration. Yoga, baby, yoga.
