Bouquets of Pencils

Don't you just love going back to school? No, I'm not being sarcastic. Summer can be both refreshing and boring at the same time. For me, the beginning of the school year is a time for a fresh start, new possibilities, and a little apprehension. I hope you will find this blog a fun way to communicate and express yourself. Below are some beliefs that I have about education and learning. I'll be anxious to see what your thoughts are.

I believe...

education is the way to escape poverty and other life situations that you may not be thrilled with.

a good education greatly determines your future.

students should always know WHY they are learning what they are learning.

students should have a say about HOW they learn best

practice makes perfect, which means that we aren't done learning something just because the chapter ended and we took a test. Even brainiacs don't catch everything the first time.

being a successful person means being able to express yourself well- through writing and speech.

problems are not solved with yelling and gossip, but with respect.
