How do you get the best education for your kids? In Australia, and lets be thankful that we live in such a lucky country, it's so simple. Yes that's right, so simple that you're probably doing it already and don't even know it. OK OK I'll tell you - you just shop at Woolworths. That's right how simple is that? This is going to work a treat cause we all need groceries and we should all be able to get to Woolies pretty easy (last time I looked they seemed to be practically everywhere) and you only need to spend $10 to get a sticker. Then if you get enough stickers, and that should be easy cause you can get just about everything you need at Woolies, your school can get their share of essential resources. Stuff such as maths and science equipment, arts and craft material, books and lots more. I'm telling you I'm really glad they're including books because even in this age of technology I still firmly believe that books are a vital part of any decent education. So thanks Woolworths I feel a whole lot better knowing that my kids will have access to books.
Now
to get this happening make sure your kid's school is registered and
let's face it any school would be mad not to be. You can find this out
on the website and if your school is not I'd be getting a shit load
of cranky parents together, they should be easy to find, and
demanding to see the Principal. When they are registered the school
can hand out sticker cards to all the kids. It's also probably best
that the school runs a competition to see which kid can collect the
most stickers. That would be such a great idea as it would, not only
increase the school's chance of getting a bigger slice of the
essential educational resources pie, but also, teach children how
valuable competition is. We certainly wouldn't want that other toffy
school in the next suburb getting more stuff than our school would
we? Another good tactic could be to get people who don't have kids at
school to save the stickers for our own kids school. In fact Woolies
even encourages this. I say get your kids to go door knocking around
the local neighbourhood, dressed in last years shabby and ill fitting
school uniform, putting on a sad face, letting people know that the
local school needs some tables and chairs (yes, can you believe it
Woolies can even supply furniture to schools - how cool!) and all
they have to do is shop at Woolies.
I
know this cause I read it on the web site and I saw it in on TV and
you've got to love Ricki-Lee Coulter. The programs called Earn and
Learn and Woolies have have done it before and it works. Basically
they Earn so our kids can Learn. Yes, pretty basic really, they earn
lots of money and use a bit of that to buy stuff for schools that
have signed up to play the game. They also use a lot of the rest of
the money to get bigger and bigger and that means they can keep
supporting the community in the future. Who knows if Woolies keeps
getting bigger and bigger there may even be enough jobs for all of
our kids to work there. Isn't the aim of education to prepare our
kids for work? Now, I've been accused of being bit of a dreamer, but just
imagine if everyone in Australia shopped at Woolies. Wow, I bet we
would have the best schools with the best stuff in all the world!
Our
kids education is so important and we know we can't leave it up to
the government to do it properly. So get down to Woolies today and
what the heck spend up big - our children are our future.
One
last word. If your local small businesses get upset with you for
switching to Woolworths just ask them if they are going to buy books
and chairs for the local school. I bet that will stop them in their
tracks!
