Children need to experience success regularly to increase their sense of competence and self-esteem. Children thrive in a safe, nurturing, orderly, purposeful environment. School is a child's most important job. The home is the child's first and most important teacher. Physical and mental health impact learning. Children need to become competent in the use of technology. Ethics and values are part of the learning process. Each person is responsible for his/her actions or non-actions. Each person needs to be encouraged to take risks in learning and to value his/her own learning. Every individual is unique and has human worth and dignity. Each person is capable of learning and achieving his/her full potential. The quality of education affects the quality of life. Children can be responsible self-managers. Education is the shared responsibility of the home, the children, the school, and the community functioning as one team. Success in school requires regular attendance.
