1. If zero tolerance discipline policies worked, then no student would ever be in trouble, ever... (By @justintarte)

2. Saying that teachers only work 7.5 hrs/day for 9 months/yr is like saying that NFL players only work for 3.5 hours on Sundays. = DUMB (By @schink10)

3. Sometimes burning bridges is good. It keeps us from going back to places we never should have visited to begin with. (By @RobertShipley2)

4. Success isn't always about "greatness," it's about consistency. Consistent hard work gains success. Greatness will come. (By @TheRock)

5. Don't confuse activity with productivity. Working hard at the wrong things doesn't work. (By @1pitchwarrior)

6. Lots of info out there about reducing suspensions. It doesn't happen if you don't change how people think about discipline! (By @herbertoneiljr)

7. Learning never stops! California district adds Wi-Fi to buses, parks them near students’ homes. (By @OfficialDLDay) 

8. One thing I do know is that being a principal is a hard job. In my opinion it is the hardest! (By @herbertoneiljr)

9. Falling oil prices and home values in Texas are a perfect storm to hurt public education funding once again. (By @DrJerryRBurkett)

10. Imagine a world in which we are all enlightened by objective truths rather than offended by them. (By @neiltyson)

Think. Work. Achieve.
