But I am sure that there are children coming up who are going to be able to create flying cars and goodness knows what else, but not if their education is stifled, not if they're led to believe that that they're stupid.
One of my kids, uh, when I was teaching on the East Coast at a charter school, um
So he had ADHD, hated school, was always a behaviour problem.
And we did a project on uh for Black History Month and we did a wax museum.
And what I encouraged my kids to do was pick somebody, right?
Find out about them and then become that person.
So they got to dress up as that person and they had to create some form of speech to tell people who they were.
Uh, it could be a minute, it could be two minutes, it could be three, it was really up to them.
They could do pictures, and this little boy.
whose name I won't repeat just in case his parents here.
But he was he was terrified of doing doing that.
And I'm going, Well what do you want to say?
And so I scribed for him and we practiced together and he had his little cue card.
And on the actual day when people were coming around the gym, um, they would come up to the kids and there was a little button on the floor that said press and you put your foot on it and then the kids would start talking.
It was the
the cutest thing on the planet.
And this little kid of mine, when the first person came up, pressed, and so he read his card and then they congratulated him and said how wonderful it was.
And he ran over to me and told me that, you know, he had said his script.
So I'm going, well done.
That's awesome.
