1.       WHEN IT COMES TO SCHOOLS – ONE SIZE DOESN’T FIT ALL.

2.       WHEN A STUDENT DOES NOT THRIVE IN ENVIRONMENT, HE/SHE NEEDS ANOTHER.

3.       WE MUST CHANGE THE EXPERIENCE OF SCHOOL – THE WAY IT LOOKS, TASTES AND SMELLS, AND THE REACTIONS IT PRODUCES IN THOSE WHO ARE THERE.

4.       YOU NEED SEVERAL SCHOOLS THAT ARE GENUINELY DIFFERENT

FROM ONE ANOTHER, SO THAT STUDENTS MAY CHOOSE.

5.       UNSUCCESSFUL STUDENTS NEED A GOOD EDUCATION A LOT MORE

THAN DO THE STUDENTS WHO MANAGE TO SUCCEED UNDER VIRTUALLY ANY CIRCUMSTANCES.

6.       UNLESS A STUDENT CAN SEE VALUE IN A TASK, AND PERCEIVE IT

AS INTRINSICALLY WORTH DOING, HE/SHE IS NOT LIKELY TO BECOME GENUINELY ENGAGED WITH IT.
