ALL CHILDREN ARE HONOR STUDENTS

"All children are honor students.   Why not?  All children belong here.  They didn't come here to make trouble, or cause disturbance, to be mean, to be labeled slow, to constantly be compared to others, or even be required to compete against friends.

Children are not deficient in anything, except maybe some specific vitamin.. Deficiency is someone elses belief of what should be.   Could it be that children, including us at one time, maybe even now, simply want to connect with people, to use themselves in their own way....a way that is creative, of value to others, and ultimately appreciated for who they are inside, not how they perform for the approval of others? 

 It seems, and probably really true, that what the world requires is the ability for children and big people to see through not only their own eyes, but through the eyes of others, to care about relationship more than being right, to feel comfortable with difference, and to value trusting oneself –
thus, possibly avoiding the next war, or belief that “they” or “them” out there are an enemy.

Maybe even the people closest to us don’t need to change either. The change could simply be our own. That would be a relief."
