If You Give a ______ An Education

This anthology is loosely based on the If You Give a Mouse a Cookie series by Laura Numeroff, one of many books that fosters a love of reading in American children. If you give a _____ an education, they’ll carry it with them forever- for better or for worst; Meaning many formative experiences happen within the walls of educational institutions. While I would like for this anthology to instill hope into students, teachers, and other school faculty members, I know that that is nearly impossible with the state that the US education system is in. I want the questions raised throughout this collection to serve as a starting point for change- not more think pieces.
