"The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled." -Plutarch
My school serves over 750 students with a variety of backgrounds, life experiences, and needs. Over 85% of our student body is at poverty level and over 45% are English Language Learners. But in spite of these challenges, there is a strong effort toward academic success.
So many of these young ones want to reach out beyond their limitations and experiences and interact with the world about them. They are fascinated by how objects are constructed and are mesmerized by the daily growth of a vegetable from a seed their hands planted. I never tire of seeing the wondrous expressions of surprise and delight as they make these discoveries of life working about them.
