I like to balance traveling and adventure with good reads that include classics and popular fiction, like the Hunger Games.

As Rudolf Dreikurs said, “The development of a child's potential depends on the ability of the teacher to perceive the child's possibilities, to stimulate the child to learn, and thereby make the child's latent potentiality a reality.” When I taught elementary school in Korea, it quickly became apparent that Korean students were not being taught to question and think for themselves. Students in Korea were taught to memorize information. They were...
