Wonderful! Aren't kids great! As I usually try to avoid mentioning here, I teach eighth grade history. School started very shortly after Katrina hit the Gulf Coast. Our students wanted to join the "Got Your Back" program and put together three dozen filled student backpacks which were distributed to kids displaced by the hurricanes.
You're so right, Ezra. Knowing MOST of my students and assuming kids are pretty much the same everywhere, I have no fear for the future. (The present has me somewhat concerned, however; maybe we should let them have the reins now!)
