At the beginning of the schoolyear, Lewis personally paid for a spaghetti supper for parents so he could tell them what he expected in the way of attendance, behavior and academic work. But the turnout was low, according to Mallory Coats, area director of high schools, who attended the supper. As educators, we need to listen to our hearts and to our students and educate parents, adminstrators and politicians that reaching higher test scores will only be achieved by engaging students in worthwhile and challenging lessons that stretch their minds and develop their ability to think. I just want to connect with my students and instill in them curiosity and a critical eye so they will love learning for learning sake. I'll bet their test scores will be fine.
Language is the dress of thought.
Thank you for your support.
