A time for creativity

Party politics aside, these are times when we need to work together to create a culture where potentially flawed ideas are encouraged.  We need the contribution of our oldest and wisest people alongside that of our youngest and least tainted members of society. And of everyone else in the continuum.
I'm yet to hear a child fail to offer an idea to solve today's problems on the grounds that it's not their problem; they didn't cause it. . .
And at the other end of the lifespan much the same is true, only with a very different perspective.
So let's make our schools the kind of places where honesty, respect, openness and a true sense of togetherness helps shape a better future.
