From the Director
First of all, thank you to all of you who have so promptly filled out the return to school survey. If you have been too busy to manage it, don’t worry...it will remain open over the weekend. Thank you also for your patience while school was closed this week. It had been our plan to take some time off of lessons in the beginning of December to engage in some exciting and refreshing wellbeing activities but we have postponed this in the light of the lost curriculum time this week. We continue to represent to the MinEd the reasons why we should be treated differently in these school closure cases.
On an entirely different tack, Sunday will mark the 57th anniversary of the assassination of JFK. Here is a little of what we have been missing:
“Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth.”
“Leadership and learning are indispensable to each other.”
“One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.”
“Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or the present are certain to miss the future.
“A child miseducated is a child lost.”
“Those who dare to fail miserably can achieve greatly. ”
“If not us, who? If not now, when?”
“If we cannot end now our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity. For, in the final analysis, our most basic common link is that we all inhabit this small planet. We all breathe the same air. We all cherish our children's future. And we are all mortal.”
“If more politicians knew poetry and more poets knew politics, I am convinced the world would be a little better place to live in”
