All I Want for Christmas

                Every year at Christmas time at some point we hear “All I want for Christmas is…Usually this is followed by 1) peace on earth, 2) end war, 3) end poverty and and 4) a lot of money. 

However, I have never heard anyone say all I want for Christmas is: 1) equitable funding for education, 2) safe schools, 3) dedicated teachers or 4) children to learn.  Why is this?  With the commercialization of Christmas targeting the dreams of children, you would think we would want more for our children? 

Can we have peace on earth, end war, poverty, or have a lot of money if there continues to be inequitable funding for education, if our children do not have safe schools or dedicated teachers?  If our children are not learning can those things be achieved?


Happy Christmas Everyone!
