Editor's Notes
- Instagram Story from Friday
- How are the children? All the children are well.
- ----- Meeting Notes (10/23/16 18:05) ----- Whether we define success as financial or personal happiness, research has shown that empathy correlates best with success in later life. We must focus on this in schools.
- All royalties going to teacher development around the globe.
- Ethical Dillemas – Chip in Brain, Cure Cancer, etc.
- There are things that Tech will never be able to do.
- Our children have both the ability and technology to overcome those problems if we get education right.
- Fundraising, by itself, does not build empathy. Students need relationships with others who are different than they are.
- It’s hard to change the world when you don’t know much about it.
- Each of you is a Mr. Tada to someone.
