if i were free to do anything....

....i would.....

if i were free 
to do anything 
anything at all, starting today
i would put out a call
for a team of talented teachers
with well worn opinions 
and pay them 100k-120k for the first year with incentives to do well
the better we do, the higher the pay, or the percentage in the future take
we'd start a new school 
begin to brainstorm how to
create an augusta in texas 
and other states for starters
no child turned away
same way as saint judes
play nature imagination
science and logical skills with all the magic still left in to bloom
lots of room for individuation 
for socializing with many ages
no more classes k-12
seperated by 12 months or less
equal parts of the chart
teaching astrology astronomy and relgion
poetry and ceramics
gardening and food preperation
child care and baby care
pregnancy and the elders
how to treat one another as well as take care of our own bodies
and minds
and hearts
and spine
and language
foster creativity
let it grow and become its own thing
memes sure why not go get it 
sing it yes musics essential
open minds
open hearts
one child
one part
of the system
glad to be
everyone is essential
no one is extra or too many
