parental involvement is paramount in student success

helping them learn how to learn.

many schools today rely too much on parents, giving assignments that students are unable to complete on their own. This is inequitable and inappropriate in my opinion.

It is easier said than done

I challenge anyone who has not spent time in a classroom recently to teach anything they choose to students for one week

Be passionate

Observe as many classes in your subject area in as many schools as possible.

I think one of the things we’ve done is we’ve trained the passion out of our students from the second grade up.

“the future is no place for our better days.” What if we concentrate on making their better days come alive right now in our classrooms? What if we make the things we want them to learn extremely important right now instead of serving up some prefabricated curriculum that we’ve masticated and are now putting in their mouths at some kind of level WE think they can digest? That’s what learning with passion means to me.
