Education Ride 365: Three-Quarters Of 365, Four-Fifths Covered



Nine Months of Education Ride 365 have happened! 

The objective of Education Ride 365 is to travel to all parts of the United States to interact with educators and other citizens about their perceptions and knowledge of continuous improvement in education.

The goal for Education Ride 365 is to travel 50,000 miles through 50 states on the "Cycle of Education" between January 1 through December 31, 2012.  I will sleep at least one night in each state. 

Three-fourths the way through I have covered four-fifths of the 50,000 mile goal. 

Since January 1, I've slept in 42 states
and covered 40,263 miles!




To date I have tallied:

4157.21 miles in January

3989.26 miles in February

4292.61 miles in March

5099.37 miles in April

5363.63 miles in May

5225.24 miles in June

3678.38 miles in July

5279.37 miles in August

3177.94 miles in September

For a total of 40,263.01 miles in the first nine months of the year!  The goal is 50,000 for the year! 

ONWARD!

Ethan Empey suicide hanging Frisco Griffin Middle - Dallas News | myFOXdfw.com

Yet another young boy takes his life by hanging himself. A 12 year old boy hung himself in his home. As with a previous story, this child was an athlete as well. What was going on in this child's life that made him make this ultimate choice?

Also this week in North Texas,

2 students from Coppell High School were killed in seperate incidents. A very popular football player was cliff diving at a local lake and did not surface after a jump. His body has still not been found. Several days later another senior at the school took his own life.
It's been found that a student at Creekview HS in Carrollton, Texas died from a cheese heroin overdose. His friend admitted the use to his mother after she was dumbfounded of his death. He too was a popular athlete.
What is going on with our children? Sports and athletics used to be an outlet for many. Now it is often an avenue for drugs and for bullying. Parents and schools need to be aware of so many more threats to their children and students.
