Comments on: Red Sox Nation http://www.thenorthstarcommunity.org/home/2007/10/31/red-sox-nation/ A community of practice inspired by Peter H Reynolds' Book "The North Star" Tue, 06 Jan 2009 05:33:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.5.1 By: Maribeth Bush http://www.thenorthstarcommunity.org/home/2007/10/31/red-sox-nation/#comment-320 Maribeth Bush Thu, 01 Nov 2007 00:06:57 +0000 http://www.thenorthstarcommunity.org/home/2007/10/31/red-sox-nation/#comment-320 Bill, as I was reading through your post, what came to my mind was "North Star Nation"... so I had to smile when I got to the end to read that "Red Sox Nation" reminds you of "FableVision Nation". Of course, <em>The North Star</em> is the cornerstone of FableVision... its philosophy about education, and about being... and approaching life... so no wonder it came to my mind... as FableVision Nation came to yours. Virtually interchangable. That's why so many FableVision products support The North Star Approach... and The North Star classroom. At any rate, I agree with you and Terry that it really is amazing to be part of something so wonderful... such a great group that is so much more than a "group"... an inspiring gathering of like-minded people who are eager to keep going further... beyond the boundaries... hungry to learn more, as we continue to help children reach their own stars... and make their own dreams come true.

It is nice to be a part of a different kind of community....a group not hindered by geographic distance, who have a shared vision of what education CAN become. As a public school teacher, sometimes I feel fairly well beaten up by the press and the public. Here, in the safety of FableVision Nation, I can share the dreams for the kids in my room every day and share the things that have worked for me in the hopes they will work for someone else, or perhaps spur someone to a new idea. Best of all, I can share my passion for a company with such strong and wonderful leadership who KNOW how to support me in my classroom! I am afraid the two-hundred year mission may not be enough! Long live FableVision. Bless you all for what you do for us! Beautifully said, Bill.
