What I Want For My Children

[vernshoneypot]

Dear Heidi,

I attended a conference on the weekend and one of the first workshops that I went to ended with this video. I don't know that there were too many parents with dry eyes in the room. I am from Australia and this is probably how 99% of parents feel. I applaud you for producing such a beautiful poignant video, I will be sharing this at the next community group meeting that I will be presenting at.

I cannot say enough about this video, I plan to show everyone and anyone especially my son's principal and teacher. It makes me really wonder if sending him to school is or was the right thing for me as a parent to do. I have had such a horrible experience, my son has had a horrible experience and he is only 6 years old. Thanks you so much for putting this video together.

It's a shame that sd43's ethnic diversity wasn't reflected in this video.

Heidi this is wonderful,what a shame that some parents are such bad examples for their children I would like to see every parent get to see this video,& that they were able to learn and ensure the best education for their children,It paints an Ideal world,but I know some parents do not give a damn for their childrens education, sleeping in the mornings and not ensuring that the children go to school,or even if they go to school,not knowing or caring where they are or what they do it is so sad 5

I share this video because my husband is a teacher and I know the responsibilities from teachers, it's not only giving lessons but much and much more; talk with teachers, have trust in teachers, believe that there're good teachers who want the best for your child; a good teacher is an educator a psychiatrist a father a mother....who gives a child the chance to grow...give them the chance to know your child too...

Gandhi is spelled incorrectly in this video. Considering how produced this video is, I would have thought someone would have checked this. Maybe they believed they were a good speller...

[HeidiHassGable]

Hey there!

I'll take it as a compliment that you consider it a polished production!

I wrote, recorded and edited the entire thing between midnight and 4am - in between visits to the hospital to receive IV antibiotics.

I apologize for the spelling error - but hope that it doesn't deter from the over all message!

Nice Job, Thanks.

Fabulous. Got even more out of the video watching it for the second time. I really like "teachers who ask more questions than give answers."

[ransomtech]

Nice job on this video, Heidi. It's a message we need to repeat daily.
