I have a nightmare

I have a nightmare.

I have a nightmare one rooted deep within the injustices and partiality we find in the American education system.

I have a nightmare that one day this nation will crumble under and live out the reality that "some men are more equal than others"

I have a nightmare that one day this will trickle down to the most precious piece to our economic/social/country's future: our youth.


Unfortunately, I didn't awake from this dream. It's my reality. My cause. My drive. Eventhough I know that the public education system will never be healed because sin has effected all things, I'm still motivated to strive for excellence in my teaching. I trample over the comments of the teachers who curse their students with their condescending advice and dead-beat dad attitudes. They can roll their stone somewhere else, because this educator will always believe in her students come rain or shine. i am convinced there are no bad students, just bad teachers.
