I love this: 1. Recognize “art.” We are surrounded by remnants of imagination and innovation. It may exist in the form of advertising, architecture, physical/material things, products, services, culture, etc. Noticing displays of creativi

Very interesting how you see the role of the teacher. I never thought of it that way, but it's so true. With "free" learning available anywhere, their jobs are more to do with mentoring and less with transferring knowledge.

This is a brilliant look at the system. And you are of course correct. There is an entire overhaul needed if we ever want to make learning more individualized. This will probably never happen. However, I included one link to a school trying

Thank you so much for those kind words, I really appreciate it.

This is a very good point. Thanks is one of the most underrated words we have. So few people understand how much impact a simple word like that can have.

Good point, I'm sure some people would argue that "no" is also pretty powerful. We are faced with so many decisions every day that our ability to say no is pretty important.
