The
theory goes something like this: if you use legal drugs such as tobacco or
alcohol, or even what some consider “soft drugs” like marijuana, you are more
likely to slip down the slope to using “hard drugs” like amphetamines, cocaine
and heroin, than people who never get started using soft drugs in the first

Despite our fixation on academics there are really two categories
of skills that will make or break a life: character traits and life
skills. And although these are often conflated, they are two distinct
areas of development.
Character Traits:
Gratitude
Humility
Accountability
Integrity
Resourcefulness
Adaptability
Collaborative
Persistent/Determined
These are Countryside Montessorihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04222273292215716173noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6125968490587448735.post-42652717482449763972017-10-04T12:20:00.002-05:002017-10-04T12:21:25.549-05:00Your Children Are Not Your Own
Contrary
to how it feels when the nurse hands your first born over to you and waves
goodbye, your children do not belong to you. They are not simply extensions of
you. You have your life and they have theirs. Your lives are not
interchangeable. Your dreams are not interchangeable. Children are yours on
loan, for what will feel like a shockingly short period of time when they get

Well said, Mr. Stallings.
Q. My third grade son recently came home in tears saying he
didn’t want to go to school anymore because he was punished for talking
during silent reading. The teacher kept him in from recess. I think this
is horrible. It isn’t a teacher’s job to destroy a child’s love for
school. Instead of constant punishment for every little infraction, what
