Two things I think Tennessee should consider that Vermont does (so far):
1) Furnish summer lunch programs to students who need it throughout the summer months. This has been something I always wanted to adopt for our students in East Hickman. Great idea......I love that kids still get a nutritional lunch throughout the summer months who need it. :)
2) Community Service in schools. Today Brock's future peers all got to pick somewhere in the community to complete community service. So, today, they all worked helping people in their communities. I love that. We could sure use that in our system in Tennessee. I think busing would be the problem.......not to mention, non-academic issue I suppose. However, I feel this is part of building a great person! Strict academics does not mold an overall good citizen.....it's comprised of so much more!
