Recent eye-opening NY times piece: AP11--Note the correllations between their findings about the "elements" of character and what we worked on for our college /personal essays! Add this to the continuing body of social science research that's corroborating the value of pragmatic, thoughtful work and experience at every level as the "best teacher."

This is a really great article. Its funny actually, I showed it to my mom and step dad (life science teacher and humanities teacher) and they told me one of their humanities brought this article to a meeting and did a presentation about it, since their school administration doesn't believe in failing students. It was a very powerful article among the teachers. Thank you for this.
