Wow - i love this idea and can't wait to see how it progresses!!

Wow, that's really shocking that they're putting together a school like that. i feel pressure to perform! Those teachers must feel so honored to be considered for something like that but I'm very happy with what I'm doing right now and I don't think I'd want to do what they're doing. I feel like my life and my job are very balanced right now and taking on extra duties like that would take a lot of adjusting to. Great idea though...good for them!

This is a wonderful idea and even more so b/c they are working with underprivileged children. A professor of mine was part of a committee that worked with him and from I am hearing it should prove a lot of negative thinking people wrong.

WOW! I think that this is such an interesting idea. I can't wait to hear more about it!

very interesting, can't wait to hear more

It's interesting because it is based on what the kids learn and how much they enjoy the learning process that is key... PS, I just signed my contract today for my first teaching job, 6th 7th and 8th grade language arts and I am thrilled and excited! Definitely not making 125k, but not in it for the money... so happy!!!

Congrats! Its not about the $ for me either (I spend more $ than expected) And really the reward is having students come back and thanking you for their the experience!

SO true. I'm a 1st year teacher and this past Thursday was my last day with the kids.. I received the nicest letter from a freshman thanking me for pushing him and showing him how smart he could be because no one ever told him he was smart.. I cried!! I teach in a very blue collar, low income area of Philadelphia so of course, I get paid crappola, but that was the best reward ever!
