This isn’t the norm…

For the rest of us there can be ‘Continuing Ed’ in the evenings or on weekends. Hope springs eternal! 🙂

This is definitely a school I would love to attend and meet great people! If this concept goes out to all schools, I am sure discipline and detention classes wont be a necessity at all! Thanks for sharing! 🙂

And bye bye Bullies 🙂 Brilliant, love it, I think all schools should include kindness in its curriculum, that’s how we get the crime rates to decrease and the society to become better and more coherent 🙂

Check out this video… A community school developed around kindness and character where students get to choose what classes they want to take. We need more schools like this. :).

  Hello, Ms. Currie Rose. Thanks for stopping by again. And thank you for your very kind words. Answer to your question …I research for good news, because for me, it sure beats the heck out of the alternative. It lifts me up, so if it can do the same for someone who reads it here, I’m happy twice! Be well. 😉
