More About This Website

 

 In 2005, I thought that it was about time that we started the conversation: about who we are, and where we came from:

Time to differentiate ourselves from Emma Lazarus' "... huddled masses, longing to be free..." (of the 20th Century).

Recognizing that, more often than not, perception creates a reality of it's own.

Attitude, Respect, Integrity II

There are several fundamental axioms that most successful student athletes, and coaches, share:

1. To be the best, you must be "tougher than the rest": 


2.Respect is earned on the "mat". 

 

3. There is no I in TEAM! 

  These are universal truisms, that apply irrespective of discipline; it doesn't matter whether or not you're talking baseball, wrestling, swimming, or basketball.

Marathoners rock the House

          

Jacksonville Marathon & Half Marathon, Sunday Dec. 21, 2008 

 

...There is a house in New Orleans

they call the Rising Sun,

And it's been the ruin of many a poor boy

And God I know I'm one...

Cooperative Learning: Motivation (revisited)

 The Enlish Language is unique in that it's capable of conveying multiple layers of meaning at the same time; differentiated by intelligence, knowledge, and audience.

As I have stated on innumerable occasions;

CL. Harris 2008   

 it's not the nature of the dream, but the character of the dreamer that matters.

For our children to be successful we must give them values; as well as, instill in them a fundamental appreciation for the language.

 

When I speak of change, that too, is what I'm talking about.
