For many children and teens across the country, school feels like a hostile, oppressive, and dangerous place. www.jessieklein.com Why has vicious bullying become commonplace in school?

When he was a senior in college, and unemployment was the highest it had been in 10 years, Pete Leibman didn’t let a down economy stop him from going after his dream job: working for a pro sports franchise.

Both Gary and Suzanne feel that it's necessary to have some fun mixed in with discussions that promote change, primarily because Spirituality and Personal Growth don't need to always be serious. Sometimes it's easier to learn from laughter and the uniqueness of a thought, rather than a strictly serious approach. We are very excited about our show and really hope you will join us.

Send it to info@greenschoolsalliance.net we'll post if it's beneficial to schools. Finally, you can "ask an expert" about almost anything you can think of! So excited that it is finally launched. We are going to build out the toolkit and resource pages in a big way but the framework is there for it to scale it to whatever size we want. Think of it as Google for green schools…but it's much more. Member schools will be able … [Continue reading...]
