I liked the teacher who started thhe year by talking about being stranded on an island. What would they need to learn about to be able to get off the island? I think that kind of teaching is full of connections that provide real-world emphasis to students. It also motivates the kids to use their imainations and heightens their level of engagement.

I think that empathy can be taught, and for some it will be more innate than others. Society places too much importance on self-success. There will always be those that are richer and more successful than others. But I don't think that anyone has the right to forget about those that are less fortunate. We are all a part of this world and this society. Our world is in dire need of more dreamers Diana!
