Schools: What can they do for the youngsters?

     School is an avenue for our youngsters to discover about themselves and the world where
there live in as citizens and stewards.  Schools should be the source of an accurate and 
functional view of the world, as well as their mirror of what they shall become in the future. 
     School for that matter should demonstrate the universal virtues of respect and responsibility, 
compassion and accountability, equality and conscience, integrity and industry, in order for us 
to see the world to operate through these universal virtues.
     Nurturing the mind of the young people in school about who they should be and what they 
can be, or who their neighbors are and what they can do if they are in their neighbors’ shoes, is 
a preparation for life that is worth investing for the future generations and yonder.     
     Specifically, the school should provide a pleasant, healthy and safe working and learning
environments for both the students and the teachers.  These are necessary if we want to 
prepare the children and young people for responsible citizenship and effective participation in 
the future society.  Children growing up in pleasant, healthy, and safe environments will pursue 
the same environments for their children and children’s children.
    The school should also meet the needs of the students and the community from a culturally 
and linguistically diverse backgrounds and orientations.  This provision will ensure the 
development of a just and harmonious learning environment that shall eventually extend into a 
community and a society where equality and respect of individual differences and ideology are 
fostered and upheld.
