What can we do for change?

We want the world to be a better place, we hate the discrimination amongst ourselves, we detest criminals and the crimes they perpetrate. We dislike unjust and selfish leaders. We want something different, we want a perfect world. We can create this perfect world!!  but how?! By grooming our children in the right way and providing the necessary materials and a suitable and peaceful environment for them to learn. (Proverbs 22:6)

Once they learn the best values and grow up in that light, the world would be perfect just when we are old and feeble and can't do much.

Very often we chase wealth, which of course is basic and necessary for survival but we in the process forget about what matters, children!! The Future!!! 

We put our kids in the best of schools, employ the best of teachers and then leave the learning process all to these educators who try their best but end up achieving less than is expected. 

We spend less time communicating with these educators and learning more about our kids and how to help them improve and instead focus on giving them treats and play thingys. 

When last did you read for your child? When last did you visit a library with your child or take him/her book shopping? When last did you ask your child to read a passage for you? Have you seen a movie with your child and then discuss morals at the end? Family engagement in children's education would go a long way in shaping the lives of our kids thereby shaping the future.

Let us do more, let our kids be our friends and a part of our lives. Let us be known as high standards enforcers and not just snack providers by these children.
