Can we still hope for a better education for all???

Sometimes we stumble upon a nice piece of news and we feel there is still hope for education. This is what I felt reading the New York Times today:

CAPE TOWN, South Africa — Thousands of children marched to City Hall this week in sensible black shoes, a stream of boys and girls from township schools across this seaside city that extended for blocks, passing in a blur of pleated skirts, blazers and rep ties. Their polite demand: Give us libraries and librarians.

“We want more information and knowledge,” said a ninth grader, Abongile Ndesi.

What’s a Mean Diva? First of all, let’s assume the concept is not easy to define. Not in words, at least. Because words fail to describe what’s precisely at the heart of being a Mean Diva: small acts, a way of looking around and noticing the exact same things that other MDs would have noticed, and, most important, making the same kind of comments. So, from what was said, one can deduce that MDs are not only intelligent but smart and bright (no, dears, those things do not always come together…). MDs are fun and will always run far, far away from mediocrity (there’s nothing worse in the eyes of a MD than mediocrity!). But, let’s not forget: MDs are, sometimes, very cruel. After all, they are Mean Divas!

But, if you really want to know more about the Mean Divas, who their favorite “Divos” and heroes are and what they are doing to help save the minds of this world, browse through their posts in this blog.
