Tread Softly

I want to pose a question. What does a revolutionized school/school system look like? I believe that there is a need for schools to make dramatic change. 

What is it in man that makes us so curious about life. There is something. Look at the effort we go through to view and discover things unimaginable. If you can got to Vimeo and watch this in HD at full screen. Wow.

Schools Kill Creativity

I enjoyed this lecture concerning the possibility that schools kill a child's creativity and furthermore that schools ignore the importance of creativity's role as a major factor in the workplace. I will leave my opinion out and just say that this is a discussion that every school faculty member should be having.

Introduction

I guess it is time for an introduction. 

              My name is AJ. 

I am married with a son and a little one on the way.

       I am a firm believer in education and the importance of learning. Working with youth to build  academic motivation is what I do for a living.

             I am a school counselor.

                                    This is a profession I have chosen. 

My strong belief in the potential of young people drives me to continue this work on a daily basis. I see a need for more adults to make a positive impact on children, so I put my money were my mouth is and became a counselor. It was a great decision for me. Counseling is what I was built to do. Connecting with young people and helping grow their love and passion for life is about the most rewarding thing I can imagine. 

My goal is that my site will lead people toward action and toward commitment to the success of our children. 

Please feel free to contact me with ideas, links, resources and comments about how we can reach this goal. 

I am but one man

and share no illusions that I am the only 

source of information. Please enjoy the site and spread the love.
