I hope the group was more responsive in person, their reaction didn't come through much on the video. Great exercise! Needed for better focus.

Bravo Gentlemen. As I watch your presentation a quote from one of the fore fathers of my profession comes to mind: "The principle goal of education in the schools should be creating men and women who are capable of doing new things, not simply repeating what other generations have done."

[Julie coop]

sometimes true but it is too easy, kids need to learn but not all kids are in the ideal situation to learn. I love their Idealism but it isn't going to happen on a grand scale.
