PARENTS, STUDENTS, & EDUCATORS (including Administrators):

1. It is imperative that all of us adults, who care about kids, realize that it is not our dreams and visions that power their progress - it is the dreams and visions we can cause in the kids.

Every child has a s/hero inside - an imagination trying to express itself. The root word of imagination is "image." Every child was created with an "image," which is powered from imagination. The more we fill their imaginations with powerful ideas for the good, the better people they will be.

If you ever hear kids say that they are bored, send them to this website to learn: - how to create questions using the Think Trix method of question creation - how to write a S/Hero Journey story, following the S/Hero Journey structure - read stories, which use the S/Hero Journey structure - create their own stories, using the S/Hero Journey structure - they can use the rubric to evaluate their stories
