“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.”
Malcolm X
This quote speaks to me as a teacher because I feel it’s a teacher’s job to help move the children forward in live and help prepare them for the future. In my culture we always say that our kids are our future and what we do now effects how their life will be lived, so we must do what we can so they can take on the challenges themselves. How might we do this you ask well I want my classroom to have land-based learning. Which means going out onto the land and learning how to protect the land and the water that will help us survive. Some examples would be do teach the kids how to garden even at my age I do not know how to garden to save my life. I can go on and on but my point is kids need to know how wonderful this earth is and how they can protect it and I feel that will be my job as a teacher and this quote says it all of what kind of teacher I will be.
