U

While having our breakfast,
I had a chat with Younger Boy.

I :  A uni graduate works in Amazon.

YB : Really?

I : Yes, for £7 an hour, 12 hrs a day.

YB : Which uni did he go to?

I : Cambridge.

YB : Which subject did he study?

I : Music.

YB : Hm......

I : His elder brother had a Maths degree,
Also from Cambridge Uni.

YB : Really?

I : Yes. His elder brother also got a...
Master degree in Computing Science.

YB : Wow!

I : But he could NOT get a job at Amazon.

What

One of the questions,
I often ask my boys is,
If there is a problem,

And those meant to deal with the problem,
Walk away or not deal with it wholeheartedly.
What would they do?

Now I'm asking myself the same question,
After reading yet another heart breaking report,

What would I do?
Pretending nothing has ever happened?
Because my boys are now at secondary.

Accepting nothing can ever be changed?
Because our education system is failing.
What about changing our mindset?

Rather than hoping something may happen,
Sometime in future by someone that cares,
Could we stop giving up & start stepping up?

That's what I'm planning to do from Mar 14.
Start offering free help to local children,
Within 5-minute walk of my home;

Every term time Fri between 1605 &1715 hrs,
When my boys learning piano at home,
I'm to visit 2 children from 2 local families.

I : My favourite day?

YB : Yes, your favourite school day.

I : Right.

YB : It's also my favourite school day.
