Cornelius and Kassandra Minor
School. Lifelong memories are made there. Kids don’t just learn there. They become. For many adults, the experiences we had in school did not simply teach us. For better or for worse, they made us. We don’t have to replicate the “for worse.” We can work together to reimagine school. For better.
