What if Every Child....

What if it was a promise every child in America made?
Would it make a difference in how we felt about each other?
Would it make a difference in how we respected each other?
Would it make a difference in how we treated each other?
40 years ago, I began the journey.
I began in the South Bronx, my first teaching job.
Teach a child how to write a simple paragraph.
Encourage them to teach another to do the same.
It has spread.
It continues to spread.
Sites like Facebook have made it spread like wildfire.
If you like the idea, you can follow or join us.
If we taught a child how to write a paragraph, would it make a difference?
What do you think?
What would you do about it?
This is a question I have asked for 40 years.
The answers are multiplying.
