Parents Beware: Teachers Gone Wild

Summer vacation was cut short one day for 117 Florida teachers in Brevard County. Why? It’s my fault. Teachers returned to school early for an all day hands-on science training and a dose of Steve Spangler Science before starting a new school year. In a day and age when the general public complains about quality education in public schools, I wish those nay-sayers were on hand to see a group of highly motivated teachers who unselfishly give of their time (their vacation!) in order to be better prepared for the coming school year. In the process of mixing up a few bubbling potions and polymer concoctions, these teachers engaged in the highest level of learning — the hands-on approach. If you’re a parent of a child in the Brevard County Public Schools, watch out… these teachers are some of the best in the country.
