August 27th Bill Rogers

Bill Rogers joined us and we spoke about behavior, students, teachers and stress in the school environment.

The two words of the evening were fair and appropriate.

Put these words with discipline, time, fees, content and you see where the ideas went.

You can listen as always on the JAMESCAST.
