Editor's Notes
- #3 ----- Meeting Notes (11/18/16 12:28) ----- The purpose of school is not to prepare kids for tests, colleges, or careers. The purpose of school is to give students the tools they need to be happy in their lives.
- #6 How are the children? All the children are well.
- #13 ----- 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.
- #15 ----- Meeting Notes (11/18/16 10:36) ----- Emotion - Limbic System Motivation - Karl Drucker (Candle Experiment)

- #24 This became my personal mission - to help build an education system that encouraged our next generation of problem solvers. Serenity Prayer - Instead of accepting the things I cannot change, I tend to change the things I cannot accept.
- #52 Sharing with others is great, but we also want to influence the influencers. We need systemic change. We must realize that...
- #54 Each of you is a Mr. Tada to someone.
