SANDRA LAPLANTE’s Post

Señora Kennedy was a huge impact on my life … in NJ you have to pass 2 years of Language and so after failing German 1 my Freshman and Sophomore years at North Hunterdon High school in NJ I took Spanish 1 my junior year … I was in deep shit 💩.. and needed to pass both years to graduate and even though I sit here today knowing less than 12 Spanish words, Señora Kennedy (who was known to be a tough teacher) stepped up for me, she really pushed me through and saw the bigger picture of who I was and who I would be … I’ve never forgotten her and it gives me great joy to give her flowers 🌺 because she deserves it! Please everyone leave a comment of the teacher who most impacted your life .. I may hate college debt for kids but education and teachers really do rock ❤️

Enjoy this precious lightbulb moment of a student being asked which River and which Sea 💡 "This looks so bad. I am a victim of the American public education system. I don't even know what an apartheid state is." Kudos to her for her self awareness 👏

This is one of many quotes in the adult bathroom of the preschool our youngest attends. It caught me in my tracks today as I dried my hands. There are so many people I admire in my life who have this type of "moral courage" **and** I've also seen the friction and barriers to a more humane world growing. I'm holding this in my heart as a reminder for how I want to show up in the world. And reflecting on how to support the growth of that moral courage muscle in our kiddos.

Can you imagine an education system teaching kids to literally HATE an entire nation? SHOCKING right? Watch this video and you will see how this has been happening for decades and is still happening right now under the Palestinian Authority educational system. What if they taught PEACE and UNDERSTANDING instead? What kind of future do YOU want for yourself, your kids, your grandkids? Share your thoughts below. ⬇️ 🙏🏻☮️
