“All of us do not have equal talent, but all of us should have an equal opportunity to develop our talent.”
-- John F. Kennedy
Thoughts to consider today. Our local school, which is fantastic, just cut music and art to halftime positions. Other schools don’t offer them at all. I’ve been thinking about it quite a bit and have come to a few final thoughts as the day comes to a close.
I’m very grateful that my husband and I are fortunate enough to be able to supplement outside of the school day the arts that our children will no longer have access to. However, I have to stop and wonder when, in our society, will we value education? When will we realize the importance of including the arts? When will we treasure our children as the wonderful yet often untapped creative and genius minds and souls of which they are?
We must change the ways of thinking for not just ourselves but for others… for I can only imagine what greatness all of our world’s children may have and what they could potentially offer to our communities and to our world…. if we only allowed them to grow.
