The Importance of Culture
What results would you expect if you had over $15 billion to spend to effect change? Each year over $15 billion in Title 1 funds are made available to schools with results that are marginal. Now imagine a skilled teacher/consultant going into a dysfunctional school in the most impoverished school district in all of America with a mission to transform the culture of the school in one year. What would you expect? Success, of course! This is the story of Phoenix Elementary School in Detroit, Michigan, and how money is not the greatest asset of a school; it is its people.

If You're Gonna Be a Camel, Ya Gotta Have a Hump; But, Nobody Says You've Gotta Be a Camel
By Bill Page
I felt competent to teach. I was confident I could teach better than those boorish teachers I'd had in my own schooling. I was 27 years old, a Korean War vet, weighed an energetic 270 pounds, and couldn't imagine anything but success. Wow! Was I wrong! I was a failure - but not in classroom management where new teachers typically fail; I failed in the very essence of my job: My teaching didn't get through to kids' heads!
