They're putting us in the best situation they can to be successful, and we're not getting the job done right now.

Alfie Kohn

The difference between a good educator and a great educator is that the former figures out how to work within the constraints of traditional policies and accepted assumptions, whereas the latter figures out how to change whatever gets in the way of doing right by kids.

If research and common sense argue for doing things differently, then the question isn't whether to change course but how to make it happen.

Over the millennia the seed of stories planted in the fertile soil of bits and scraps of facts was watered by wishes and began to take root and grow.
