    I really like the idea of the last poster, to let kids fix up their school grounds. I teach in Oakland California, and almost without exception the schools I visit—to do my literacy work in—are surrounded by dead grass and deformed trees from thoughtless landscaping. Children could do wonders with their school environment! And think how empowering it is to fix up the place where you spend most of your day in, instead of being inert and unconnected. School is a place where children either learn that they have connection and influence over their environment, or they learn to ignore their environment.
