Every one of these kids walking in these doors today is
someone’s son or daughter; each one of them is a person, with un-testable strengths. If teachers and administrators around the world
insist on remembering that, everything will change for the better. But, as long
as these kids are regarded as outcomes, we will continue marching on the path
toward mediocrity and anonymity.
That's really all there is to it.

Thank you vrery much Mr. Hunter -- a pleasure to hear from you again. I love that photo, too. It does, indeed, inspire a sunburst of ideas.

ReplyDeleteI appreciate the thought, however, and thank you for taking interest.
Strange! Well, if you would still like to see it, you can type the title in google search or if that does not work, use the search box to the left of this. The title is "Kites, Cardigans and Gool Ol' FU"
DeleteFound it! Well done and very enjoyable. Spot on with the message, too. Thanks.
