What if...

What if kids were not freely handed the opportunity to forget what they learned all year over the extended summer vacation?

What if teachers left the profession the very moment they felt disconnected to the students, and didn't waste classroom space just to wait out retirement?

What if the government truly realized that they wouldn't exist without funding education properly?

What if we treated schools like palaces instead of less than prisons?

What if instead of making little changes here and there, we made monumental, gigantic changes to the HeartCore of the institution?

What if we made the teaching profession fierce, and paid teachers six-figure salaries?

What if we made schools incredibly expensive for the government and absolutely free of charge to the citizens, just like national defense? (thanks West Wing)


What if we held a whisper of a moment in our guilty, tired, sodden hands--stopped throwing stones at the sinners, finally ceased our incessant bickering over blamegame roles, metaphorically annihilated those that seek to uphold corruption over education--and actually transformed our dialogue-anger-depression-madness into action?
