WAYS TO IMPROVE & SAVE PUBLIC SCHOOLS
1 Stop viewing our kids as numbers
2 Less standardized testing
3 Provide actual & appropriate consequences for students to learn from
4 Provide other options for kids who continually cause chaos
5 Provide more supports
6 Provide teachers more prep time
7 Smaller class sizes
8 Have districts use their money much more efficiently
9 Obtain & keep highly qualified teachers AND increase their salaries
It’s not a line.
It’s a measurement of commitment, sacrifice, respect, integrity, effort and fortitude
It’s a symbol to remind us that greatness lies in the smallest of details
Great teams have players who hold each other accountable to meeting their line of standards everyday
"The edge is when your talent runs out and you're forced to develop the discipline and skill needed to reach your potential.
Embrace your edge.
That’s where the new habits come; that’s where the toughness comes."

Today was an emotional day.
The parents of a child I started tutoring this December, asked me to go over with them the ed and psych reports for a school evaluation they had requested.
Telling the mom that after reading the reports my suspicions are stronger that the child has dyslexia. She cried as her husband tried to comfort her.
Here is the frustrating part:
We are talking about a 2nd-grade child who struggles in every area of reading but who is hard-working, and motivated, with two caring and loving dedicated parents who sat in K, 1st, and 4 months of 2nd-grade classes, and if it wasn't because this mother's institution and initiative this child's problem would have just continued to go unsupported at school level.
Why do schools keep playing this waiting game? How much failure does the child need to be experiencing before we decide to provide them with the support and instruction that they need and deserve?
WHY do we keep letting kids drown to then try to rescue them?

As a teacher who cut my teeth during the standards era, I am thrilled to see someone saying what so many of thought from the trenches of our classrooms!
Standards should have been the end goal, not the vehicle to get there!
