I am so thrilled that I stumbled upon this blog. In my classroom I spend a great deal of my time building character. I want to equip my students with morals, values, responsibility and independence. Isn't it our jobs to supply our students with the necessary tools to being successful in life? So many of our students are not getting those values, morals and responsibilities that they desperately need, at home. That's why they come to school unprepared and without the knowledge of conflict resolution. I believe SECD is one of the most important things our students need. When I think about some of the questions raised about whether it is being taught all over the school I currently work at I am truly sadden. Like so many of my peers and colleagues I spend a tremendous amount of time preparing my students for the tests. I believe if we as a whole exert as much energy into preparing our students for life as opposed to just preparing them for promotion, we will have a better student success rate.
