December 16, 2016, Prescott-
Today was long,
because of wind, and rain.
Two of our boys fought us,
tooth and nail,
over the tests the class took.
Self- determining a curriculum
is something that
requires inner discipline.
Our students don’t
exactly have that,
in spades.
I overheard a girl
saying that one
of the boys
likes every girl
in the school.
She said he was named
for an angel,
but couldn’t pass for one.
I think every girl
deserves to be liked.
As with boys,
that liking should
be for who she is inside,
and for her dreams.
As with boys,
girls need to know
they are surrounded
by unconditional love and encouragement.
How is it that doesn’t go without saying?
Love the line breaks, the simple theme and message. Some innocence from the girl’s voice shines through.

It is the innocence of a child, that every true adult will acknowledge and honour. The individual, herself, ought to have the leeway of letting that innocence morph into character strengths.

I believe that love is a natural emotion, but that it is strongly enhanced or destroyed during early learning. Too, every kid deserves to be liked or loved — but some learn how not to be likable, thus learning how not to deserve that emotion.

Sad, how many do buy into that fallacy.

To the individual, belongs the choice.
