At All Costs

As it is where do we stand in the face of fear? Fear for a child, a parent, a loved one or a peer! How do we rationalise the chances we take? A soldier may die in the experience he or she makes. But, that’s what their training and mindset are prepared to accept in the worst case. A nurse is now obliged to risk all to save us. Do we accept this or ask why is the state of the nation so morally unjust? We can’t carry on with an attitude of success at all costs. Foolish statements made to bolster a nations ego have already and could result in too much needless loss! The schools are everything important for a nation to exist. Education, education, education is so important for opportunities and success to persist. Our track record on listening to the experts shows that we think we know what’s best? But this time it’s schools of children, support staff and teachers that will face the most serious of tests!
