It is of utmost importance that educators inspire and lead by example. There should be mutual delight in learning. https://t.co/YIDxAjaKpK

@ravDITCHnclb Yes, it would seem the system's rigidity results in difficulties for the teacher as they try to meet students' unique needs.

@FreshPrincBCAM @David4Disciplin I must agree with Mr. Barboaza. Respect the student but also respect yourself. Do not tolerate his vices.

Every child learns and behaves differently. NCLB can't expect every student to perform the same

@FreshPrincBCAM These shows give students the time and opportunity to reveal the mind's secret curiosities that beget passion. #gotmyticket

@David4Disciplin But their interest is what leads them to college, not vice versa. Otherwise success would be definite, rather than a spring

[Ralph Waldo Emerson @WaveringWaldo]

@ravDITCHnclb Excellent source. Teachers must consider students' unique, individual abilities to guide them -not force them- to achieve!

[Ralph Waldo Emerson @WaveringWaldo]

@David4Disciplin Studies should be natural. Inborn geniuses will attain these; other students will pursue interests they find themselves.

[Ralph Waldo Emerson @WaveringWaldo]

@ravDITCHnclb That's just it. It WOULD be easy if educators could focus on honing natural abilities, not demanding conformity to standards.

[Ralph Waldo Emerson @WaveringWaldo]

@ravDITCHnclb @FreshPrincBCAM And confidence allows the young to expand that desire. Limiting students denies them their right to develop.

Intriguing article. Punishments that aim to halt children in their tracks do not educate them on how to move forward. http://t.co/oZ1OybEFeq
