Schools need to illustrate the connection between curriculum and the real world. Students can spout back lessons but they don't know what it means.
We push leadership and develop the skills students need to succeed in other classes.
Twenty-seven percent of students drop out of college because they don't know why they are there. They were told they have to go but they didn't find an area that interests them.
The good news is, the students took their own school's safety and security seriously. There's a general sense of being fed up with these kinds of threats.
I point to the outcome, the fact that we have a student who is alive and is doing better.
We try not to match them up if they're in the same league. We try to never have a first-round game between teams in the same league. We'd have a great crowd, we'd make a lot more money, but we'd probably switch the lower seeded team.
The problem for the U.S. is that the economy is growing faster than the rest of the world, and, therefore, our demand for imports far exceeds the demand for our exports by other countries.
We turned the ball over too much, which helped (the Bulldogs) with their run, but they played well defensively and we just didn't play well enough to beat a good team like that.
We think it (interest in absentee voting) is going to go up and might be slightly higher than we anticipated, maybe 10 percent or 15 percent higher.
We're going north, wherever the storm isn't going.
I've never known anyone that is a better manager of people or is a harder worker than Kessel. His willingness to jump in and help take on public-private partnerships is legendary.
Preliminary indications from the school indicate (the student) probably said it in passing, as an off-hand joke. But you don't just joke around about things like that. Of all the times in the world to make a joke about bombing a school, this was clearly not the time.
Our aim is simple: to turn the pricing mechanism of this industry upside down. Our competitors will not like it. But we know we can offer excellent cover at a fraction of the price of other providers.
Every day, we get concerned about the age of the school buses in this county. You've got to keep in mind that they're built as buses to start with, and they carry young people who may not treat them as if they were their very own, so to have these buses running 13 or 14 years ... is not the best way to do business.
