I see it all the time, the disdaining of privilege and opportunity among so many of the disaffected young on this side of the world, the drive, hopes, dreams, aspirations and striving of those on the other side, who would give anything just to go to school. I LOVE this poem!!!!!!!!!!Sherry Blue Skyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10769154286598233146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474566446391728432.post-88947681461652607112013-04-25T16:29:10.614-04:002013-04-25T16:29:10.614-04:00I love this Karen!

It IS what it is but and don't ask me why because I see the same crap attitude in a lot of teen kids but I also work weekly with Kindergarteners and 1st graders all from my slum. I have great hope for them. poor and getting poorer and having the governor of MI trying to find a way to chop another $2000 per child from education down to $5000 per kid (of course his kids go to $20,000 per student per year high school) so they will fail and he can start some more charter schools to line his buddies pockets who will pay for him to have a 2nd term. <br /><br />BUT my 5 kids are happy and more importantly they are learning and coming up to speed by loving now to love to learn. They will read Tolstoy by 3rd grade if i have anything to do with it! Well Dickens at least. <br /><br />I'm not ready to give up on the teens yet, when they give up on themselves I'll consider it. My friend in Kenya grew up on dirt floors and she just graduated college with her degree in international relations and literature. She is bad ass and a Kenyan slam champion.the walking manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10058913927297370740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5474566446391728432.post-60214635509395344042013-04-25T02:49:35.774-04:002013-04-25T02:49:35.774-04:00Beautifully done Karen, you put on me on 'psus...Beautifully done Karen, you put on me on 'psuse' this morning. Could have been so obviously done, but your shades are so subtle. The 'But really, baby' is a line that sparks. Loved it!Titushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16380213493011623153noreply@blogger.com
