There’s an old story about people pulling babies from the water. At some point, somebody has to stop and ask, “Why do they keep ending up in the river?”
That is the difference between constantly reacting to problems and building sustainable solutions.
So during training, we asked our parents:
If you could create a dream school, what would it look like?
Because parents are not just participants. They have experience, ideas, concerns, and solutions.
Sometimes the first step toward stronger schools and stronger communities is simple:
Ask better questions. Listen to the people closest to the problem. Then build with them.
That is how we go upstream. 100001030737358:2048:Dana Austin 100002850271497:2048:Pretty Cee 100002176036058:2048:Michelle Whiteside 100002401536500:2048:Skin-Walker Pinky Litefoot 100000274276385:2048:Mzgotmyown Getyours Douglas 100000907556685:2048:Patryce Taylor 61562411144795:2048:Borders Tara 100063683685523:2048:Brooklyn Unit School District #188 100064013074240:2048:Cahokia Unit School District #187 100063788310674:2048:East St. Louis School District 189
