An Apology

“Sorry.”

An Apology,

I would like to sincerely apologize for my participation and collaboration within the public school system. A system that has injured you physically, emotionally and intellectually. It was my job as a teacher, a person in a position of power, to protect you. I was woefully inefficient in that regard. What I did was wrong and I’d like to take responsibility for administering standardized tests, for one. 

To say I didn’t know better is a burdensome half-truth. Truth is, I know better now. 

Please accept my genuine and heartfelt remorse. 

I’m dedicated to change.

Because change, (it) has to start somewhere. It has to start sometime. What better place than here. What better time than now. RATM.
