Don't Let The Actions Of A Few

I Grew Up In A Very Progressive Family And With A Great Educational System, And I Asked Myself, 'why Doesn't Everybody Have These Opportunities For A Good Education? So Why Not Give Back To These Kids Who Didn't Grow Up With The Same Privileges I Had?

I Have Learned That, Although I Am A Good Teacher, I Am A Much Better Student, And I Was Blessed To Learn Valuable Lessons From My Students On A Daily Basis. They Taught Me The Importance Of Teaching To A Student - And Not To A Test.

It Doesn't Take A Rocket Scientist To Figure Out That If You Tell Kids They're Stupid--directly Or Indirectly--sooner Or Later They Start To Believe It.

Evil Prevails When Good People Do Nothing.
