ADDITIONAL BIOGRAPHICAL INFORMATION

“School is a powerful place. People go to school to study, work, and produce – just like in an adult workplace. School is where people go to acquire knowledge, learn skills, and develop values that will make them productive citizens and help them grow to their fullest potential as human beings (Wong & Wong, 2009).”
