If money was out of the equation, what would you spend the rest of your life doing?
Would you do the job you are currently doing for free? (Assuming the need for money did not exist?)

I like the idea of a world with out money, Jacque Fresco developed the term Resource Based Economy which is "a holistic socio-economic system in which all goods and services are available without the use of money, credits, barter or any other system of debt or servitude". I think what this guy is doing is really cool, if it's something you want to look into you can find out more at: http://www.thevenusproject.com/

You could make a huge and lasting impression on them by introducing some of your passions to them in a simplistic manner. If a greeny you could get a few saplings and get the kids to help you plant them around the school, etc Think about ways you could impact on their lives and get them thinking more creatively, more community/global savvy. You have an incredibly precious opportunity, don't waste it?

I have a cousin doing something called unschooling with her boys and from my understanding it's a way to put the kids in charge of the curriculum, its really cool! There's a lot of opportunity for improvement in todays education system, I feel like students should be engaged in a way, not to accept everything as it is, but to question why things work the way they do, they should be encouraged to go out and search for the answers on their own as much as or even more than they should learn in school. To be honest, I learn as much from the children I work with as they learn from me. I think that's a good thing.

I'm with Kate on this.....you have a GREAT opportunity as an "assistant preschool teacher " to influence a LOT of lives every single day....HERE and NOW!
You say you want to " spur positive change throughout", and that goal is admirable. Start now, with each and every moment in each and every day:>) I like the fact that you recognize being engaged, learning, questioning, encouraging to seek answeres.
I LOVE the idea that you recognize the fact that you can learn as much from the children as they learn from you. My perception, is that we are all students and teachers in this earth school, and when we lovingly share information with respect and kindness, we all have the ability to learn from each other:>)

Its seems like the internet is filled with strangers who want to make each other feel bad, yet both you and Kate Blake have really encouraged me, someone you've never even met in person before. I really appreciate everything you all have to say, I'm so thankful to have found a place like this.
Thank you so much!

Unfortunately, some folks have not discovered the pleasure and enjoyment that can be experienced with empowering others, rather than disempowering. It's really FUN to be encouraging and boost people in their life adventure.
Have you heard of the concept of "leveling"? People will often try to bring others to their "level" of security or insecurity. We tell each other a LOT about ourselves with each and every interaction.
I'm glad you found us too Jackson. The more encouraging, supportive people we have in our world, the better:>)
