A well-deserved break

Hope everyone in the JIS family has a great semester break! Looking forward to seeing everyone back in April, when we'll have just over two months left of school. Time flies!

Here's something to think about while you're relaxing or exploring -- and don't worry! This isn't one of those questions that hurts your brain. Actually, it's interesting when you really just let your mind go:

What are the four things you want your children to be able to do when they graduate from high school? Think big. What kind of real-world things must they be able to do when they leave 12th grade?

Robert and I have had many good arguments (errr, I mean "vigorous debates") on this question. How hard it is to narrow down the list to the really critical things! But it's the kind of thinking that's happening right now in great schools around the world. So what do you think?

See you in April!
