We Stand Beside Them and Learn

I teach children. Our future.

I teach the young minds that need to be problem-solvers and critical-thinkers.

You see, we have left them a legacy of violence, poverty, hunger and pressing global issues that will need to be solved in the next two decades.

So now what? How do we get them there? How do we teach them what they need to know?

We teach them to ask questions. Not answer them.

We let them inquire.

We let them explore.

We let them get frustrated.

We let them fail…

and recover.

We let them create.

We share our knowledge and our faith in them.

We stand beside them and learn.
