It makes you wonder?

Turangi has had it's coldest winter in 2 years!! Makes me wonder about all the families in town who live on he bread-line. They would not have enough resources to have stock piled dry wood, they may not even be able to buy a decent load. I see them every day, kids who are cold, who have not enough warm clothing, kids who have no breakfast in their tummies. It's not rare here, it's quite common. How can they participate in a curriculum that continues to narrow to suit the priveleged few? How can they concentrate on basic learning when even a warm cuddle is a rare thing for some of them? Geoffery Palmer had no idea what Courtney Place was like! Hello! He lives in another world and so do many of hte priveleged among us they also have no idea!
