Meme: Passion Quilt
Social Justice
“All for the Common Good, each according to their abilities…”
Miss Proffe linked to me from her passion quilt meme post. I don’t always respond to these things, but I liked hers so much that I decided to join it.
The caption appears with the photo on flickr, but in Portuguese, and I discovered a translation feature for Google searches when I tried to find out what it means. Very cool. I don’t know if I got it right, though. Anybody who cares to help with that, feel free to jump in.
This is right on target with how I feel about public schools.
Here are the rules for the Passion Quilt Meme:
- Post a picture or make/take/create your own that captures what YOU are most passionate for kids to learn about.
- Give your picture a short title.
- Title your blog post, Meme: Passion Quilt.
- Link back to this blog entry.
- Include links to five or more individuals in your PLN (Personal Learning Network).
Got that, Alice, Angela, Michael, Graham, Nancy, Michaele? You are the last 6 people besides Miss Proffe to have left comments here, which is the best way I could think of who to pin this one on.

Love the photo, Doug. It reminds me of my childhood in Panama…where red ants like this are common, and I’d see long strings of them carrying things on their backs. I was always amazed that a little ant could carry so much.
Thanks for participating in the Passion Quilt meme!
Take care,

Found this when I googled the quote…

Seems like it’s still pretty relevant to public schooling.

Thanks, Emily. Not sure if it’s a match, but it sounds like there might be a connection.
