More from Will Richardson and Why School?
"In my travels, I ask parents that all the time (What it is they want their children to "get" out of education). Not surprisingly, the first answer on their lips is not “I want them to be good test takers.” Nor is it “I want them to know a lot of stuff.” What I hear instead are things like: “I want them to love learning.” “I want them to be able to solve real problems.” “I want them to be independent thinkers.” Those, and many similar outcomes, are what I want for my kids, too. These things — and not the details of the Gupta Empire (referring to pointless facts our children must learn for ISTEP/Comps) — are what will truly make a difference in their lives. "

- 2013-2014 Teacher Assignments - Do you have a special request? If yes, let me know after spring break. P.S. Kussy HAS requested to loop up. Butz IS looping up.
