Editor's Notes
- #5: ----- Meeting Notes (11/18/16 12:28) ----- The purpose of school is not to prepare kids for tests, colleges, or careers. The purpose of school is to give students the tools they need to be happy in their lives.
- #6: How are the children? All the children are well.
- #9: Ethical Dillemas – Chip in Brain, Cure Cancer, etc.
- #11: All royalties going to teacher development around the globe.
- #15: ----- Meeting Notes (10/23/16 18:05) ----- Whether we define success as financial or personal happiness, research has shown that empathy correlates best with success in later life. We must focus on this in schools.
- #24: Fundraising, by itself, does not build empathy. Students need relationships with others who are different than they are.
