My one wish during this winter season is that my little student (whereabouts unknown since January) would land safely somewhere and would encounter a system, a district, a neighbor, a police officer…someone who would insist against all odds that this child be given the respect deserved; that school for this child would start again and that what was lost would be found. Perhaps our educational system will grind forward, lurching and complaining, weighed down heavily with all the students it can not seem to find the time nor resources to educate.
God bless and keep you my little friend, D. You have been deeply betrayed by adults in charge…those leading the bumbling systems we pay for.
Godspeed…
