These kids know so much these days, and are bigger, stronger and quicker mentally. We just have to find out how to use it for good and not evil.

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

I have friends with deals, both major and indie, and the ones on majors never seem as happy, and quite frankly aren't making music as strong as those on independents.

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

I was taught from a young age that as a teacher, especially a male, you are to never be alone with a female, or even a male student.

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.

Kids are great in that they keep you on your toes. They're like a puzzle... in a blender, haha. You have to take the pieces out and try to put it together on the fly.
