Social emotional learning seems to be the hot topic and buzzword of choice these days, and for good reason honestly.

But it's nothing new.

I will never forget hearing about the importance of teaching students skills like resilience, goal setting, team work, .... (/1)
fair-play, community involvement, and so much more. My initial thoughts were "isn't that the counselors job?" and "I don't have time in my class to cover that". Boy was I wrong.

Then I accidentally came across this organization called @ClassroomChamps ...... (/2)
and it rocked my world.

I learned I could connect my classroom with top performing Olympic & Paralympic athletes to help me teach them (and me) those skills.

I was immediately sold, & applied right away. Through my years as a classroom teacher and then school principal... (/3)

When this realization first hit me, it hit me hard.

I was working so hard to create a space that students (and adults) would love coming into every day. I thought I was killing it. Then one day my buddy, @E_Sheninger came to visit my campus. And one of his questions... (/1) Image
to me was "when are you getting student input?"

Of course my first thought was "they're elementary students, they're too young for that". And the moment that thought entered my head I was embarrassed. Our kids are only too young for things that... (/2)

20 Lessons from 20 Years of Investing

by John Rotonti (TMFEarlyRiser)

1 - Pay up for quality.

2 - Average up. Add to winners, not losers.

3 - If you want/need capital, sell your losers.
4 - Remain invested. Stocks go up most of the time, even after new highs.

5 - Keep cash on the side to take advantage of sell offs. Get aggressive with high-quality businesses when on sale

6 - Create a process and stick to it. Checklists/watchlist/journal are great free tools.
7 - Don't bother with low quality or turnarounds. Have a 'too hard' pile.

8 - Stocks follow earnings eventually. Buy long-duration, profitable growers.

9 - Buy 'best of breed'. Don't bother with the second-best.
