Made me feel like I was back in the locker room getting psyched up for a game. Very powerful.; 4/30/2007 6:55 PM

Can we all really say
"I make kids wonder,
I make them question.
I make them criticize.
I make them apologize and mean it.
I make them write, write, write.
And then I make them read."
We have a reading and advisory program that a large percent of the staff doesn't believe in or even regard as somewhat beneficial to students. It is sad.

I have also read this before but it is so much better seeing it performed. I wish I had such passion.; 5/02/2007 8:15 PM
