“We must remember that intelligence
is not enough. Intelligence plus
character- that is the goal of true education. -------- Martin Luther King, Jr.
As we begin the next semester of
the school year, we have so many new policies and procedures to implement in
the classroom and many of those are based on ideas we tightened up over the
break. The students are not clean
slates, as they are now coming to us with the knowledge that we shared with
them during the first half of the year.
We must remember that during these times, we are not only responsible
for intelligence, but we are also duly responsible for encouraging our students
to exhibit strong character traits.
We must teach out students that
intelligence is no longer enough. Character
is developed by genuinely serving others.
Happy MLK Day! “A Day On, Not a Day Off!”
