More specifically, he spoke about one of his characters, Mr. Ruskin, a teacher, who suggests an innovative way of teaching history by giving students a few dollars and sending them to a vintage store to buy an item, then having them return to class and do a "show and tell" about it. You can imagine how this could work.

As we approach March Break, it feels timely to highlight the importance of rest and relaxation. Taking a break is something I personally struggle with, and I know many of you do, too. Our principals and vice principals, in particular, often find it challenging to take a lunch break when there are hundreds of students to supervise. Despite our best intentions to take a moment "later" to eat and catch our breath, sometimes "later" never comes.
