Over the weekend, I had the opportunity to watch the full documentary “2 Million Minutes“.   

Several key factors were loudly spoken in the documentary:

·          American students are not globally aware

·          Strong minds and discoveries happen everywhere

·          Students in China and India view education as a means to economic opportunities

·          American students score higher in self confidence than any other student group in the world

·          American students work as hard as other students in the world.  Often there work is attached to jobs outside of school and co-curricular activities

Concluding thoughts to ponder
American children are as smart and capable as other children of the world and are frequently viewed as having all the things that others in the world want.  Children in other parts of the world are willing to work extremely hard to gain placement in US college and universities as they want what American children have.  Education is their means of economic prosperity and a better life.

Events of the Week:

1.  ISC Seniors:  Finals begin Wednesday, period 4 and 5, conclude Thursday, periods 1,2,and 3.  Graduation Practices is Friday following the Senior Breakfast.

Have a wonderful educationally focused week.

Here are some snapshots of RHS 2008 Spring Musical, GREASE taken on Friday, May 16th. It was a pleasure to see so many familiar faces and two great teachers, Ms. Felton and Mr. Hanson from the main campus.

Congratulation to Mr. Neely and all his crew for a great show!

PS: I hope the drama department invites me to the next production when they need a character with Hispanic accent

A tribute to our ISC and Global Academy Seniors.
