Goodnight! #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

@cathy_griggs99 Nice! Will do!

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A10: This is difficult, I tried a site last year that was kinda blah for this, and put out feelers with friends who teach in NYC for penpals. It is somewhat difficult to set up. More work for you Cathy (or Matt)! #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A9: Because it allows for the implementation of non-traditional means of expression. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

@TkwallWall YES times infinity!

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

@SarahAn83079216 Except for grammar!

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

@SarahAn83079216 YES!!!!!

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

I suppose I just did as they can see this!

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A7: Honestly? I would challenge the board to bring in Chromebooks and become a Google school! Its nonsensical to not. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A6: Risk is how we learn! So many people fall into, at an early age, the idea of limits on their potential. It is a destructive force, and very difficult to remove during adulthood. Risk is everything, iphones, planes, space stations, everything! #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A5: Oh boy, I think we all know what that problem is, old school rigidity in thinking and refusal to adapt to the times at hand. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A4: We had an interesting discussion about invasive species right before school stopped. They definitely found a problem, that we are one! #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A3: Easy! The lack of critical thinking in our culture! I talk about this all the time to my students, never assume something is true, verify that it is, then check it again! So important. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A2: I would say that you have to care deeply about a problem to find a meaningful solution! Many of them do, they get how much trouble the world is in. I think there is going to be a lot of anger driven innovation in the generations coming up. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A1: Whoa! That is a heavy question. Even for adults. I think finding that balance between fear of speaking up and guilt from not is very difficult to do, for anyone. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

Here. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

Goodnight all! #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A9: Most adults struggle to create something meaningful, mostly because the definition of meaningful is highly subjective and at the same time often colored by outside influence. Yet, we expect children to do this? #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

Instead of planning a party, plan a gathering, and let them bring what they can. What they feel comfortable with. Then, build an experience from there. #newfchat

[jacksears @Jacksears77]

A8: "Your party plans are riddled with barriers" says it all I think. #newfchat
