  16. May all of our staff and students in PLRD have a wonderful spring weekend. The snow is melting and the prairie wind is blowing its magic.
  17. Education is as much about nurturing children so they experience the wonders and joys of childhood as it is about productivity and results.
  18. Quality education for rural students: I've heard it said, "If it walks like a duck, swims like a duck, and quacks like a duck, it's a duck!"
  19. New normal for rural education in Alberta: 90+ minute bus rides one way, triple + grades, high school by VC, one size fits all. Equity?
  20. Paradox: As Wordsworth writes, "the child is father of the man" he means what happens to us in childhood determines who as adults we become!
