Frustration - Questions that don't have great answers.

Why do kids today not value their education? I know this does not apply to all kids, but I am referring to regular high school kids. Not the ones taking Pre-AP or AP, just the ones trying to get by. Why does our educational system teach to the lower or mid tier? Why are we expected to find a way to pass the children. Why aren't they held more accountable?

Quote for the day -

"There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure."-- Colin Powell

I don't think the kids today are learning from failure. I think they don't care or mind if they fail. They don't value their education.

Back in Action!

Spring Break is over and teachers all over Texas rolled back into work. It might have been harder for the teachers than the kids. I missed sleeping a little later, taking my time cooking breakfast for my kids and reading the paper and drinking my coffee at a relaxed pace. Kids got no breakfast at home, I did not read the paper, and coffee was made and drank on the run. Time never stops, but it seems to fly when you have a break and take forever when you have to work. Today seemed as long the whole spring break was.
Here is a quote I looked up to keep up with my blogging:

"The great successful men of the world have used their imagination…they think ahead and create their mental picture in all its details, filling in here, adding a little there, altering this a bit and that a bit, but steadily building - steadily building."-Robert Collier

I found another one as I was surfing throught the blogs and websites:

"If you'll do today what others won't, you'll do tomorrow what others can't."

This can relate to our blogs. :)




I am not sure who Robert Collier is, but I am going to try to steadily build my blog. Happy reading whoever takes the time.
