Last night I had the good fortune of going to Daniels Run International Night. Foods from around the world are served and folks (kids and adults) learn about different cultures. It's a great learning experience (well, except for the chicken dance that I merciully missed having to participate in). And it also shows how diverse our schools and our City is.
Seeing such diversity is a positive for our community. We live in a global society and children compete with other children around the world as well as around the corner. Preparing our children for being productive members of society and a good career is much more than reading, writing and math. They need to be exposed to different cultures, learn new languages and understand that each person has valid and unique points of views that should be considered.
I'm so glad that our School Board, led by Chairman Janice Miller, really works hard to ensure our children get a worldly education that goes beyond the test. These experiences - like International Night - are what will continue to help our children succeed as well as solid academics.
