<p><XPRE><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span style='font-size:12.0pt'>Back
in September of 2005, on the first day of school, Martha Cothren, a social
studies school teacher at Robinson High School in Little Rock , did something
not to be forgotten. On the first day of school, with the permission of the
school superintendent, the principal and the building supervisor, she removed
all of the desks out of her classroom. When the first period kids entered the
room they discovered that there were no desks. Looking around, confused, they
asked, 'Ms. Cothr en, where're our desks?' She replied, 'You can't have a
desk until you tell me what you have done to earn the right to sit at a
desk.' They thought, 'Well, maybe it's our grades.' 'No,' she said. 'Maybe
it's our behavior.' She told them, 'No, it's not even your behavior.' And so,
they came and went, the first period, second period, third period. Still no
desks in the classroom. By early afternoon television news crews had started
gathering in Ms. Cothren's classroom to report about this crazy teacher who
had taken all the desks out of her room. The final period of the day came and
as the puzzled students found seats on the floor of the deskless classroom,
Martha Cothren said, 'Throughout the day no one has been able to tell me just
what he/she has done to earn the right to sit at the desks that are
ordinarily found in this classroom. Now I am going to tell you.' At this
point, Martha Cothren went over to the door of her classroom and opened it.
Twenty-seven (27) U.S. Veterans, all in uniforms, walked into that classroom,
each one carrying a school desk.. The Vets began placing the school desks in
rows, and then they would walk over and stand alongside the wall. By the time
the last soldier had set the final desk in place those kids started to
understand, perhaps for the first time in their lives, just how the right to
sit at those desks had been earned. Martha said, 'You didn't earn the right
to sit at these desks. These heroes did it for you. They placed the desks
here for you. Now, it's up to you to sit in them. It is your responsibility
to learn, to be good students, to be good citizens. They paid the price so
that you could have the freedom to get an education. Don't ever forget it.'
By the way, this is a true story. If you can read this, thank a teacher. If
you read it in English, thank a soldier. Yes, it really is a true story.
