The Perfect School

The responses to the newsletter about “The Perfect School” were rich and varied. Many who responded agreed with the teachers. One person said art should be included with the first suggestion. I agree. One educator asked why there was no reference to race relations when I had written that we were having courageous conversations during the retreat. Good comment! The answer to this question is that “The Perfect School” was a warm-up question before we began the courageous conversations about race. However, I agree that “positive race relations” or “strong relationships across races and cultures” is a necessary component of The Perfect School.

What do you think? What do we really need? Think inside the box; think outside the box, but share your thoughts . .
