[school-core] Proposed Mission Statement change



From: SchoolForge's mission is to unify independent organizations that advocate, use, and develop open resources for primary and secondary education.

To: SchoolForge's mission is to unify independent organizations that advocate, use, and develop open resources for education.

The reasoning is that many of the projects overlap primary/secondary/post secondary in relation to those who are doing the development and how & where the projects are utilized. Also, there have been some mentions regarding performance & expectations gaps between secondary and post secondary education, at least here in the United States - this doesn't answer that, but might be a good perspective moving forward.

Another reason is to share a perspective / mission that wouldn't cause someone to feel that their FLOSS education project, or interest in volunteering is outside of the scope of SchoolForge.
