I want to teach them that firemen are heroes, and that the earth is naturally magical. I want them to learn that you win more flies with honey than vinegar, and that if you can express yourself fully, you can work through those feelings and choose always to feel good. I want them to feel safe in questioning how the gravity of the moon affects our bodies, and at the same time understand that there is much to learn about science and the universe in which we live. I want to help them never to lose their imaginations, and to realize that what one person teaches them to be true is perfectly true to the person who is doing the teaching even if it might be false to you. I want them to understand that one cannot truly assess the value of a person based upon what they look like, or to which parents they belong. I want them to understand that time and money are a construct of mankind– and only have to matter based on how much they want them to matter.
