Some people laugh, some people cry.

Some people will, some people won't.
Some people do, some people don't.

Some people believe and develop a plan.
Some people doubt never think that they can.

Some people face hurdles and give it their best.
Some people back down when faced with a test.

Some people complain of their miserable lot.
Some people are thankful for all that they’ve got.

Some people lose out and some people win.

“When school districts are measured by how much confidence, worth and hope their graduates have acquired while in school, when the role of education becomes more about nurturing students and a love for learning than standardized test scores, when the term “honor” student stands more for a child’s character than than their grades, then schools will again take their role as a place for effective change in America. Until then education will continue to be run by paper chasing, pride driven central office administrators and educational bureaucrats trying to prove their worth to politicians who don’t even know our kids. Let our teachers care, let our children thrive. Let our teachers teach.”
