This says it all. Contacting parents for Launch is time consuming, but SO valuable! It is even changing how I run my seated classes. I've made more contacts (positive and other wise) this quarter than ever before in Q1! #whyilaunch @fueledbylaunch

[Ben Hackenwerth @BenHackenwerth]

@fueledbylaunch @Linc_R3 @mpennyR3Sup Just another service that sets Launch apart from those others.

Most important point from @AdaptiveSchools Day 2: Adaptive leaders sell the problem and and not the solution. #collaborateandlisten @ToniPrickett @DrJ_Anderson @BenHackenwerth
