Reading to a kindergarten class or helping a student who has absent parents may make all the differences in this student's life. Money is not everything... Sometimes it's more important to be in the schools and show someone you care about them and their education. Everyone has something to offer, even if it's sitting next to a student and helping with homework, telling a story about travels to a foreign land, or putting together breakfast. Try painting a teacher's lounge or making the corner of a classroom a "special reading area." I taught in the public school classroom for over 20 years and believe that when people get involved in the schools they recognize that the teacher can not possibly give attention to 30 students all the time. Hopefully they will understand that just 30 minutes a week is all it takes to change the path of education.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3009912368962227337.post-43574143422824409182008-10-02T08:43:00.000-05:002008-10-02T08:43:00.000-05:00Very well said, Susan.
