We always reference kids but very rarely ask their opinion. Our inexperience might be what gives us the ability to teach our elders something, due to the fact that we are not jaded or cynical.

If we all understood we can learn from both older and younger people, then we'd have a better world.

Prom has all the elements of a popular story. It reeks of all-Americanness, tension, drama. It has romance. Pretty dresses. Dancing. Limos. High school. Coming of age.

The goal is not to turn kids into your kind of adult, but rather better adults than you have been.

Any good teacher knows how important it is to connect with students and understand our culture.

Young people are often asked, 'What do you want to be when you grow up?' and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where's the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?

Enthusiasm just creates bubbles; it doesn't keep them from popping.
