LOVE LOVE LOVE this blog! When I was a school leader - everything driven by test scores that happened at the END of the year - I worked pretty hard to bring the message of 'today' into the building. That comment about everything being about the future is so spot on. I don't think it's new, per se. I know I felt that way when I was a teen. But, there are things we can do to help teens recognize how to make today great. That parent's question is the one we need to be asking. Great read, Ellen!

I loved this, Ellen. I think I need to interview a bunch of teenagers for the podcast.
Great idea!
