Adult Learning Disabilities

What I noticed this week from parents was terrifying. Adults always say,

“I will protect my child at all costs.”

But the reality is, they will fight to protect their right to always do harm.

As a parent, the hardest thing to do is shut up and listen. As an adult I learned late to pay attention without searching for comparisons that show evidence of how I relate. I made a -lot of mistakes in life, trying to be slick and get over without putting in the necessary work.

And regardless of whatever smarts I thought I had; over the past few weeks, I realized how much I had failed. As Students taught everyone attending their contract negotiations with the school board and district- (unfortunately without lawyers)- that adults’ personal perceptions and greed continue to severely damage children’s present and futures.

When we think we know everything, we can’t learn anything.

So be the f!!k quiet. Listen and help the youth without destroying their minds.
