Too many third graders can’t read this sentence
9 Feb. 2017- Editor's Picks
Two-thirds of U.S. third graders face challenges that will impact their future, including academic
struggles that could lead to dimmer academic and career prospects. Sadly, only
one in three U.S. students demonstrates reading proficiency at the end of third
grade. This has alarming consequences for these
children, and for our country.
A report released today from the Business Roundtable (BRT) sheds light
on this troubling trend in American education, and advises business leaders on
how they can help put more
children on a path to success.
(...)
I’ve heard it said that before third grade, students are learning to
read, while after third grade, they’re
reading to learn. Grade three is a critical crossroads in a life's journey. If
you’ve read this far, then you understand why this is so important. Not enough
of our young learners can say the same.
I encourage you to read the BRT report. As you read, please consider ways to help our schools and our teachers keep students on paths to bright futures.

Really, all I read was blabla wa wa wa. Are you Charlie Brown’s teacher? If we can't understand our children who are crying out for help and direction, then there is something wrong with you. Please go back and check yourself! They are worth so much more.
Rick Shire
Thanks for sharing. With two young children, I increasingly think about the importance of early childhood education. Pre-k care is far too inaccessible, ultimately magnifying inequality from the earliest stages of life.
Tom Franks
What exactly is education? Academic education doesn't make someone a
better person or even a better employee, I would guess that anything we learn
in the education process is at the most 10% useful to us as people. Education
should teach academia but also life skills such as budgeting, EQ skills,
languages etc., all the elements to be a successful person and not necessarily
a successful professional.

As the Olympics Approaches, a Lesson in Overcoming
Adversity
Bert R. Mandelbaum, MD
July 20, 2016
I've known a lot of athletes who qualified for the Olympic Games, ______
injuries. But I know of only one who qualified because of an injury.
Cliff Meidl’s story captures the spirit of the Olympics.
In November 1986, Cliff, a 20-year-old plumber's apprentice, hit three
buried high-voltage electrical cables with a jackhammer. An estimated 30,000
volts surged through his body, exploding bone and cartilage from the inside ail
the way up to his head. To put that into perspective, electric chairs use only
1500-2000 volts for executions. So it's safe to say that Cliff should have
died.
And he nearly did. His
heart stopped. Paramedics were able to get it going again, but they had to
resuscitate him on the way to the hospital.
As part of a team with renowned plastic surgeon Malcolm Lesavoy, MD, and
others, I got to work reconstructing Cliffs legs. Our best hope was to avoid
amputation.
But very quickly, we noticed something else going on - something that
had nothing to do with our expertise. Through every step of his painful
rehabilitation, Cliff grew more and more determined. He never complained. He
just asked, "What's next?"
Before he had even finished the rehabilitation, Cliff started paddling
various watercrafts. The days spent on crutches had already strengthened his
upper body, and he took naturally to the sport. The same year in which he was
injured, he began competing in canoe and kayak events, and in 1996 he qualified
for the Olympics - not the Paralympic Games, the Olympic Games.
Four years later, in Sydney, Australia, I was overseeing the sports medicine team at the Olympic soccer
tournament. I was sitting in the stands during the opening ceremonies when Cliff
walked into the Olympic Stadium carrying the Stars and Stripes.
It's a long-standing tradition for delegations of athletes to select one
among their number to bear the flag, and the choice often symbolizes some
extraordinary accomplishment. I had no idea that Cliff would be selected. So
when he strode into the stadium with a normal gait, I nearly broke down.
Moments like that reinforce what I have always believed: that sport can
bring out the best in us all.
The Olympic Games (...) are devoted to celebrating the human capacity to
improve body, mind, and soul.
They are about taking part - not necessarily about winning. Cliffs peers
in the US delegation of 2000 recognized that when they elected him to bear the
nation's colors. He never won a medal at the games, but the spirit with which
he overcame adversity inspired all of them.
The Olympic motto - faster, higher, stronger - can help our patients
realize that the real victory is the "win within." The Win Within:
Capturing Your Victorious Spirit is the name of the book I wrote to show people
that coming back from adversity is part of our heritage - that we as human beings
are more adapted to adversity than we are to success.
Adversity is the engine of unimagined opportunity. It can unleash our
energy and stimulate our will. It moves us to succeed. If I don’t have food, I
have to go get some. If I’m cold, I have to build a shelter.
I remind patients who don't participate in sports that they have the
heritage of athletes. We all have the genes of pursuit-hunters who survived by
running down their prey and running away from their predators. That's why even
now, in 2016, when we go out and take a run, we feel good. We get an endorphin
surge and our lipids go down. Our hearts and brains become clear.
The life of sport and sport of life are interlinked. Exercise is our
birthright; it's our legacy; it's why we are here.
We no longer have to fear saber-toothed tigers or cave bears. But when
you look today at how people can be successful in 2016, it's by avoiding the
predators in our urban life: overeating, inactivity, and smoking. And it's by
rising to meet adversity.
