Over the last few months, I have been quite frustrated with the belabored issues occurring in the district and around education in our city overall. It's tough to keep listening to the vicious complaints about what each stakeholder's belief that one entity is doing something "right." Most ignore the public education option in our inner-city. Others move to the outskirts of the city or into suburbs seeking safety and a quality education for their children; and then the rest of us are so focused on what use to be or this is how it is, we now have a depleted inner-city and an educational system so marginalized at every level that we have forgotten about the children.
As tough as it some aspects of life may be, we will pack up after our meetings and continue to churn the same mindset of what use to be. I often express to people, I am looking at how this will be in 2020 and 2065. I'm staying encouraged about the possiblities. If we live another ten to fifty years continuing to fight and disagree about how to make decisions about the education and safety of the children, we won't be a viable, progressive city. We are discouraging our next generation by not equipping them with the tools they will need to be come a productive Kansas Citian. So if we are going to change education in this city, I encouage all of those who are willing to see Kansas City change and are quite unsure of how to make it happen to get engaged in the process. We have so much to learn abbout each other instead of wasting time juding one another. If you want to really step out and get involved, contact me cleekoba@gmail.com or via Facebook.
