Today I'm thankful for Lucy's school and the opportunity to volunteer in her classroom earlier in the week.
One of my biggest concerns about our country is our lack of regard for early childhood education. We spend so much time and energy lamenting our educational system, tearing down teachers, blaming kids and parents and in general just sort of moving chairs on the deck of the Titanic. I certainly don't have the answers to all of the problems that plague our schools but I do know that if every child had the opportunity to attend a school of the caliber that Lucy attends, what a wonderful world we'd live in. Her teachers are knowledgable about people Lucy's age! They know what to say to make her little mind scoot and turn. They give her lots of space for safe exploration and time for PLAY! Lucy loves school and for that I'm so thankful!
