Her locked-in friend Neil fired his nurse for sleeping at night using brain wave communications. "​My finest moment ever. They called him boss from then on."​ It appears they can '​rewire'​ a brain.

Product of four different elementary schools. Realized it'​s not all about the student. Students aren'​t cookies. Labels are sticky –​ too sticky. Any system is hackable –​ technological, educational, etc. One man'​s safety net is another man'​s hammock. Responsibility is shared among students, parents and administrators. There is no entertain in teach. Sometimes in life things are boring. Without effort, talent is wasted. There'​s nothing like a deadline. Competition is a great thing. Leadership i... More...
