1. I'm reading, The Fundamental Five (Cain & Laird), this week! (By @jenlezcol)

2. Dear administrators,

Spend more time in classrooms. Good teachers will love it, bad teachers will hate it, and students will appreciate it. (By @justintarte)

3. If something you're doing or thinking isn't fixing or improving the situation then it's wasting your time. (By @CoachKWisdom)

4. Vouchers are like Titanic lifeboats... Only for 1st class passengers, not an option for others.  Did we not learn from history? (By @RatliffT)

5. Research by Allington (and others) shows that students should be reading for 60 minutes and writing for 40 minutes a day IN SCHOOL. Is this your school? (By @mwaiksnis)

6. In Nevada, students who are declared habitually truant could be delayed from obtaining a driver's license, or have their license suspended. (By @PrincipalHolder)

7. Aspire to become worthy of having followers. (By @blitzkrieg607)

8. Today's Quote:  “There are quite a number of things taught in school that one has to later unlearn.” (By @DrRichAllen)

9. Federal funding for basic Research & Development should be uncontroversial, yet has fallen to lowest percentage of Gross Domestic Product in four decades. (By @FareedZakaria)

10. UH Cougars, down 6 to 31 with less the 11 minutes left in the game, score 29 points in the next 10 minutes. Win 35 to 34! Never give up! (By @LYSNation)

Think. Work. Achieve.
