Student missed 18/20; gets a Smiley face

Be sure to watch this TED production. It's only seven minutes, and your life will be better for it. Just imagine if our schools were full of teachers like this woman!

Then show up at School Board meetings and insist that your school district hire (and keep) only teachers with this philosophy. Dump the rest. OK, give 'em a chance to change. Maybe one year to improve their attitudes. If they don't (tenure or not), kick them out.

Rita F. Pierson died June 28, 2013, at age 61 in Texas. "Years too soon," I say. Look her up on YouTube. There is good material there.
