1. If you believe morale is about keeping people happy, you are misinformed and misguided.

2. True definition of morale: Unit cohesion in the face of adversity. What does that say to you about your leadership and staff? (By @CabidaCain)

3. AGAIN I'm reminded of the significance of framing lessons with student friendly learning goals... Yet we still inconsistently practice it. (By @jbriannorton)

4. Children feel shame when they don't meet our expectations—another reason to praise effort instead of the person. (By @anniemurphypaul)

5. "Wrong answer moments" are an incredible learning opportunity. Game designers do it. In classroom, it’s a perfect use of Recognition & Reinforcement. (By @S_Snell)  

6. Anyone know where my HS kids can attend training on how to use their cell phones? What? They just figure them out? Weird. (By @Joesanfelippofc)

7. Why is it that we cut education funds, when we all know our future depends on the quality of innovative thinkers in the next generation? (By @DrRichAllen)

8. Inability to act over sequestration is a damning indictment of the way our government functions these days. (By @FareedZakaria)

9. I can't think of a management practice more poisonous than giving any attention to anonymous letters.

10. Tax-credit vouchers simply subsidize tuition for students already going to private school. (By RYHTexas)

Think. Work. Achieve.
