I love you @suemcqueen52 !
I didn't know this about you. I can't imagine being so mistreated and outcast by the people who are supposed to be uplifting and educating.
Schools are such a strange space to put little people into. They have a huge hunger for learning and testing new boundaries. Then we shove them in tiny spaces and tell them not to move?
I feel like this new age we are moving through is going to change the way we teach. We are going to need to focus more on real world skills and the ability to problem solve. And who knows, maybe we will even listen to the youth and learn from them.
