hope

Every Monday I am there.

There's no pomp or circumstance; I cross the classroom, calling each student over to pick out a book for the week's homework.

They come with wiggly teeth and diverse backgrounds; our big blue marble condensed in these four walls.

And I have to believe that this generation may just get it right.

I share your hope!
I have a lot more hope about our prospects to get it right since November 4th. :-)

We have so far to go, but we have come SO far. Beautifully put.

We have come a very long way. When I talked to my kids about it, Zoe had a hard time believing that black kids used to not be able to go to school with white kids. I told her it never made sense to me either...
