Water... is it wrong for my students of grade 7 to have this exceptionally fun water fight at the end of school while children in other countries die of thirst? What about the children up in the north of Lebanon who have not had a proper end to the school year because of the daily shelling and rounds of fire in and out of the Palestinian camp Nahr el-Bared?

I struggle with such thoughts. The 7th graders had such a lovely time yesterday, but I feel challenged to get their heads turning towards others who are less privileged. Next year...

But for me, what can I do to make a change now? This will be my theme song this weekend.
