PLN 6
In the article No Child Left Behind from the Nata village blog what matters is education. At the Nata Priamary School they have made classrooms outside to ensure that all the children get a chance to learn. The kids even love to learn and they are very grateful for the chance to learn and they take pride in their work. This makes me wonder what school would be like here if all Americans were so eager to learn and grateful for the chance. If Americans were as eager to learn and took as much pride in our work society would be in a much better place. There would be less poverty, less crime, and fewer problems with the teens of today. Instead of dropping out of high school teens would work until they achieved their goals, they would get good grades, go to good colleges and find good jobs that they love. America is a blessed country; every child gets to go to school, but in the Nata village it is a privilege for them to go to school and that is why they are so grateful. We can certainly learn from them, I think everybody could use a little lesson on being grateful. Because we have always had public schools that anybody can go to for free we take it for granted. If we were grateful for the chance to make something of ourselves then we would develop pride in our work. By taking pride in our work, the standard of business, living, and even the level of self respect would all rise because when people take pride in what they do their best to make it the best it could be and as presentable as possible. If we took pride in our work and in everything we do then we wouldn’t settle for something that was mediocre we would do everything with excellence and a higher standard would be set. Because education has always been available to us it has lost its value, but it would be wise of us to learn a little something from the kids in the Nata village who it truly matters to.
