Therefore, in addition to practicing all their math skills, and trying to bring together the very disparate skill levels of this small class, I need to teach how to figure percents. Would you also try to include the more Main Lesson – type material into our track classes? We have 3, 45-minute lessons a week.

ps – and thank you for the Elon Musk suggestion. That will really fire up my son’s imagination.

Reading about Ben and Jerry giving their staff ice-cream took me back to my own very first job – working in a fish and chip shop for a couple of hours 3 nights per week when I was 14. I was paid 5o cents an hour (about $6 per week) and a portion of chips (fries) per night! Your post has really inspired me, and in a flash I thought of Anita Roddick, founder of The Body Shop, as another great biography. Thanks, Meredith 🙂
