NCLB - Can all children become engaged learners

This blog is about Geffory Canada and his pasion of truly leaving no child left behind.

Here is a quote from Geffory “I don't accept excuses about kids not learning. You can't blame the kids ... If a child does not succeed, it means the adults around him or her have failed.”

I beleive this statment with all my heart. We just need to find that switch that turn the learners on to life long learning. If we find this switch and find there interest children will preform at a level that we can not imagine.
