Preservation of our language isn't about overt displays of intelligence; in every way possible it is the central conduit of life - how we act, what we dream, how far our drive takes us and what we can achieve. Language - any language of its own accord is an art form; it has the ability to weave tales, capture interest, share emotion and find synergy. I wish that every single teacher could share the excitement it is and the power found within the building of sentence, thought and expression. There is nothing like it. Our children don't need dumbed-down versions of classic heroes nor rap-style messages to engage their interest. They need us to show them the power of sound and how the alliteration of such can indeed influence life and outlook, satisfaction and connection. To not just read, but do so voraciously. To not just think, but be lost in contemplation. To not just dream, but to have the means and the voice to get there. To Speak. Write. And Do.
