My role, my responsibility

Today my kids handed some homework: A fact file of a world leader of their choice. Most chose Helen Clark – probably being the only leader they know of. I had Adolf Hitler, Gandi, Martin Luther King and Gordon Brown.

But it got me thinking…

Martin Luther King If these kids were in my class which do I need to encourage, whichHitler do I need to push to reach their full potential, which should I report to CYF or to the RTLB service. Who is performing, whose average, whose just not up to schooling. What should I say to their parents?

Stalin How do we know, who we know? Our classrooms are full of potential, of greatness. If theseJohn F Kennedy kidsEinstein WERE in my class, how much responsibility do I take for them, and for how long?
