Regardless of your politics, I think we can all agree that the election of Barrack Obama as president is a tremendous message to send American children.
A man born into a modest, mixed race family with no connections became president because of his innate potential, his dedication to community service and education and the belief that he could do it.
It is my hope that teachers and parents and all those who work with children will use this president to fight the apathy in the classroom that is the greatest barrier to learning.
This is our chance to answer that call. This is our moment.
This is our time, to put our people back to work and open doors of opportunity for our kids; to restore prosperity and promote the cause of peace; to reclaim the American dream and reaffirm that fundamental truth, that, out of many, we are one; that while we breathe, we hope. And where we are met with cynicism and doubts and those who tell us that we can't, we will respond with that timeless creed that sums up the spirit of a people:Yes, we can.
How do you bring the message of hope to students in your classroom? Share your "Yes, we can" story in the comments section.
