#Youngmindsmatter...
A five year old brought 30 bags of heroin to school...
It was in his book bag
Back to school night...
A class with thirty little names on the desks
Seven parents were in attendance
Most were very young mothers, aunts or grandmothers
Only two men found time or cared to be there
Fifteen educators for grades K thru second
none of color
A father cursed out his son ...
a 2nd grader for not doing his homework...
Was the father sure his son understood the material
When was the last time he sat with him
talked to him
lead by example...
Don't tell me to be on time for the free breakfast...
Home at our kitchen table is where the day always starts
Food for the body belongs to me
Food for the mind/soul ...
In part belongs to you
Stimulate the young mind I bring you
Some had to be reminded that school opens at 7:45 am
They needed to be told to not leave children unattended
Note: the number of registered pedophile near is 334
The curriculum is college prep
That in itself should have had your attention...
It also means that this journey should have started at home ...
My first reaction was to run...
To take mine and find a safe place where I could regroup but...
I decided to fight ...
To make a myself available to all that need
I've resources that I shall give freely
Let's develop these minds so they can defend themselves
Make their own way in the world
or just...
Get out of the way ...
