Maybe the Regional School should seek an opportunity to present to the 
Rochesterr Business Alliance and or other business groups, to share research, 
theory and experiences on what works & how they could help.

Thanks for the chance to hear from a genuine champion of students and learning 
Bill. 
 
Here are 5 questions that did not yet get answered - and that might help us all 
to move forward for students' sake. 
 
1). How can we avoid attacking people in business or people in education - in 
favor of working together to benefit more learners? 
2). How can we support more of what really does work - to gain higher 
motivation and achievement for all learners? 
3). How can we use more of the kinds of tests teachers in Finland design to win 
for all kids, and show excellence in more schools?
4). What learning designs really do work, and how can we work across 
differences for learners' sake - rather than vent about failures?
5). What risks could each of us take for great learning approaches -- even when 
that means personal cost or personal sacrifice? 
 
The horrid problems in education have also presented amazing opportunities for 
an innovative future in learning. Let's band together to make schools like the 
Regional School - a living reality where collective wins leave students at the 
peaks! 
 
Imagine if we were to show the world another way -- much like Finland is doing! 
That takes launching answers to all 5 questions, and taking the doable steps of 
making it happen -  as I see it. Others?

For those who don’t have cable and/or couldn’t watch last night, here is the 
full ½ hour episode of the Daily Show which was pretty much all on education.
