The driving force in the life of a child, starting much earlier than it used to be, is to be cool, to fit in. The best schools are able to make learning cool, so the cool kids are the ones who get As. That’s an art.

Last night, Kal told AMR that her new teacher was cool enough that if they were closer in age, they’d be BFFs. I like that she thinks her teacher is cool and believe, as this quote suggests, it should have a very real impact on her performance this year (no pressure kid!).
