Allow me to put aside some education concerns and issues for today. Yes, the problems in education are real but let's take a step back, get some perspective, and think about what is most important.
With all that being said, I want to address the horrific problems in Aleppo, Syria. Yesterday the last pediatric hospital was bombed. Tragically, nurses, doctors and children were killed...in excess of 50 of them. This was a hospital run by the Red Cross and the Doctors Without Borders.
Sadly, one is killed every 25 minutes and 148 have died in the last six days. Of course, most of those meeting their end are civilians.
I'm commenting on the Syrian civil war because it is not really on the U.S. radar. I also want to draw attention to the fact that war, the death of children and the fact that a country is unraveling is far more important to deal with than what I often see as plenty of senseless political posturing that too often takes place in our education arena.
Why can't we get a grip, lose the posturing, quit the arguing and get things done in an amicable manner.
