Education

topic posted Wed, March 29, 2006 - 8:17 AM by  Sonya
According to several philosophers not in our time, the only way to change a culture is through education. Our mothers and fathers did fight to change our education system, however, this is STILL not over.

I have opportunities to volunteer at my mother's school (she's a teacher). However, instead of just being there to pass out papers and crayons, I want to teach them about their past, their present, and their future. Their past is their history - who and what they are. Their present is the legislation that can lead to a race war. Their future lies in their ability to go to college and continue this cycle of better things.

I don't believe I'm the only one who's doing this. However, no one is organized. The Mormons do it, why can't we?
