What If?
What if the world saw kids through our eyes?
Will they see successes in disguise?
What if they saw diamonds in the rough?
Will they know capturing their hearts is not just fluff?
What if the focus was not on the test?
Would it be enough to just do our best?
What if there was really nothing to measure?
Will we ever find that hidden treasure?
What if we could tear down classroom walls?
Would we teach at the beach or at the mall?
What if the computer could take the lead?
Would it make teachers obsolete?
What if we stop trying to find fault?
Could we find a remedy and stop the verbal assault?
What if differing viewpoints we could try to see?
Could we agree to disagree?
What if we taught kids to care for the least of these?
Would it be as important as learning ABC’s?
What if we stopped asking the hard questions?
Will we address the issues of education?
What if we stopped asking why?
Could we really turn a blind eye?
What if everyone could catch a glimpse into our world?
Will they be able to see that precious pearl?
What If?
