The Element

The Element stereotypes that all schools are a 'fit-one-size' and tend to stifle the creativity of students with a non-adjusting curriculum. This is the public school prescription and some parochial and private schools follow. Directions like these strongly allow cracks to open up and swallow many students. The Element is a call for Education Reform. Everyone of us as individuals and teachers should embrace our creative side, with students as well. Open up and allow our students to become creative within the class you teach and the curriculum you follow. Every single class has potential to do just this. A good teacher should take the proper steps to change and develop his/her subject area to fit a kid's creative needs. An extended time period will allow and encourage this practice...

Note: Way too many personal stories in the book. Get to the point...don't try to fog and shadow us with stories that sometimes don't support the thread of the book.
