My Three C's

I've got three words for tonight: CREATIVITY, COMPASSION and CONSTRUCTIVE.

I've had these words on my mind for a few days now.  I spend a lot of time in meetings about at risk children.  These can easily drop into the pointless chatter of what's wrong with this behavior or that behavior or what's wrong with their parents. 

I'm on a Campaign for the 3 C's.  Can we create a new strategy? 
Keep our compassion for children on the front burner and
be constructive.

We educators must resist the mind-numbing conversations that permeate the teacher's lounge -
we invigorate ourselves when we access our creativity and if that creativity is on behalf of children, then all the better.  Make constructive choices that build something and if we're building on our compassion for children, then all the better.

We can do better than giving into negativity, punishments and manipulating the young minds of today -
have a 3 C day!
