It's fall here...would you like to know how I know?  My Dad told me, "Grandpa Louis always used to say, 'You know it's fall when the wind blows over the stubble.'"

I'm in graduate school right now and every once in awhile I come across a quote that I would like to remember.

The primary function of a teacher as a leader is to "inspire others to do think that they might otherwise not do and encourage others to go in directs they might not otherwise pursue."   P. Schlechty

Always Remember...

I say this to my kids at school every time they are put into a group.

"Do you have to like your partner?"
No!
"Do you have to love your partner?"
No!
"Do you have to be best friends with your partner?"
No!
"Do you have to respect your partner?"
Yes!

It's just like the workplace and the real world, don't you think?
