Many very successful innovators have dropped out of elite schools (high school and college), and in talking with these students, interviewing their parents and teachers as part of this book/research, many educational systems are failing some of our most capable and creative innovators.

"Students will do amazing things if you can design a class and environment that is positive and empowering. Rising up to and overcoming challenges, building lifetime relationships, and forging positive connections to school won't directly result in better test scores. It will result in better people. Isn't that what we're really trying to accomplish?”

PASSION!
Three kinds of passion-
content
personal
professional
I have really tried (and feel very successful thus far) to have passion in all  aspects of my life. I love 2nd grade content! I love my team! I love my personal life!
