This clip gives me goosebumps every time I watch it. Keep up the wonderful work. Keep the voice strong and loud and maybe more people will hear. Small stones can make far reaching ripples when thrown into the pond. Its a big pond!

I teach and love it. Thank you for a new leadership that might just draw schools away from the standardized testing data that drives every decision these days. It is a mentality that is robbing our children of a rich education in favor of a narrow set of markers that do not define success in their future. That's my two cents!

It would be remarkable if schools would simply enhance the god-given talents of their charges and nurture them in equally all areas. Schools dance to the tune of those financial and political drummers for whom the curriculum was designed, to perpetuate the present social structure. NCLB sounded just as good, but its underlying strategy has left more children behind than ever. Only if parents buy into holistic education and use their votes accordingly, will change come about.
