In today's world, it's not good enough just to educate children…we have to inspire them!
From the earliest ages, today's children are exposed to the world of Facebook, Twitter, and the world wide web, where everything is instant, and much of it is very engaging to them. If schools and educators want to compete with this new reality, we must get out of the education rut we've been in for the last 10-15 years. We must harness the power of technology instead of fighting to push our students away from it. We must welcome new and fresh ideas to the education arena, and find new ways to inspire our kids to become the great leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Competition and innovation are critical to a thriving economy. We must allow those same things to be the catalyst for a world-class education system for Missouri's children. Everything must be on the table, and the welfare and advancement of our children must be the only desired outcome!
