McCann Erickson Youth Studies

... and the McCann Erickson Intergeneration Study... tell us that the 16.5 million Filipino youth below the age of 21 are technocentric: spending an inordinate amount of time in front of either the computer monitor or the TV set, surfing the Internet, text messaging or playing computer and video games.

Students dont care how much you know until they know how much you care.

Teach the great character strengths:

By your example By your direction By your verbal explanations

As a general rule, teachers teach more by what they are than by what they say.

Giving good personal example, especially in the practice of the moral virtues

Teaching kids to count is fine, but teaching them what counts is best. -Bob Talbert
