If you intend on building a solid career, it's best to not worry about the major label approach. It's a trade-off that most true artists shouldn't have to make.

Teachers literally break down at the thought that if their students have a bad a test day, their job is on the line.

In general, being independent is so liberating, you get to create without someone looking over your shoulders.

People with education get out of the classroom as soon as they can and jump into administration or higher ed, there just needs to be some motivating factor for teachers to stay in the classrooms and excel. It's that simple.

Anytime you have to sacrifice your art, or integrity, it's a bad deal, no matter what they're offering.

Many people think you shouldn't stop kids from being kids, and I agree, but no one wants the worst case scenario on their hands. Better safe than sorry I say.

Never have one kid in the room with you, and avoid situations that would look suspect to a passerby.
