Just wondering if we still have the Entrepreneurship class? My room is the 1st floor of the H wing and don't leave it a lot - but I didn't leave my other room in the A wing either so that isn't a great excuse. In the class kids would have ownership of their business and I would think would get more out of it. This make me think of the TV show Shark Tank. People pitch their business to a panel and they ask for money. They need to convince one of them to help they out with money and contacts. If the sharks don't think they are completely invested in the company they pass. I think Mark Cubin, the owner of the Mavericks, is my favorite.
Something that hit home was the fact that the three R in education at so important that we are not offering as many classes that inspire creativity. How many classes are not running because of the lack of number of kids who want to take the class? It is a shame. As for me I would not have taken the art or music classes but there are many kids are losing something they really love.
I agree- I found it troubling that creativity such a prized and necessary prerequisite for success (and will continue to be) considering that those electives are typically the 1st to be cut by schools.
