Memorization is not in the top ten skills needed today. Yes, we need knowledge, but we also need to consider that we have instant access to so much information. If school is about preparing students for the future, we need to shift our focus.

As we commemorate the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. we reflect on the profound impact of his work, recalling his 1947 Morehouse College article “The Purpose of Education” which says, "Intelligence plus character-that is the goal of true education." #pdschargers

“Today was a good day for many people. It's easier to be a parent this morning, it's easier to tell your kids that character matters, it matters. Tell them the truth matters. Being a good person matters.”

I'm pretty sure all of us are on a nightmare merry-go-round of I'm Doing Ok and I Can't Do This Anymore and the only difference is how fast the ride is spinning, and the speed is variable.

The first two days of distance learning classes went very well. I'm confident that I will maintain a positive attitude with students & b a good teacher. I'm not that emotional of a person but, privately, I think i want to cry at the prospect of doing this for ten more months.

I'm hearing from many parents of young children of the heroic work teachers and administrators are doing to make the start of this surreal school year feel special. I'm not surprised. Educators are heroes. And are often left to fix the messes of the rest of society.
