Educational Wisdom
Freedom is useless if we don't exercise it as characters making choices...We are free to
change the stories by which we live. Because we are genuine characters, and
not mere puppets, we can choose our defining stories. We can do so because we actively participate in the creation of our
stories. We are co-authors as well as characters. Few things are as encouraging
as the realization that things can be different and that we have a role in making
them so......... daniel taylor

Risk Behaviors and Academic Achievement
Risk Behaviors and Academic Achievement
The academic success of America’s youth is strongly linked with their
health. Health-related factors such as hunger, physical
and emotional abuse, and chronic illness can lead to poor school performance.1
Health-risk behaviors such as substance use, violence, and physical inactivity are consistently linked to academic failure and often affect students' school attendance, grades, test scores, and ability to pay attention in class.2-8
