public investments in motivating students

cells. Fantasy is a necessary ingredient in

Dave Grohl “For me this award means alot because it shows that the human element of making rock is the most important. Singing into a microphone and learning to play an instrument and learning your craft is the most important thing for people to do. It’s not about being perfect. It’s not about sounding correct. It’s not about what goes on in a computer. It’s about what goes on in here (points to heart) and what goes on in here (points to head.)” \n Phil Beadle\n Alan November\n Chris Lehmann\n George Couros\n Rosie, Abbey\n
