Winter Break has always been such a great 'catch-up' time for me and reading. Just finished my third book this week and still have 14 more days of vacation.
I heard about 'Doing School' by Denise Clark Pope during an administrator workshop and checked it out from my local library. The format was very easy to read and the stories about each student from Denise's study were fascinating. Click this link to read more about the book.
Some questions that I'm thinking about....
1. Do you believe our current education system is preparing our children for life? Work? Relationship? Healthy living?
2. If not....What will it take to change our current systems?
3. What can adults do to help students like those featured in the book.
