  10. FINAL THOUGHT “If we value independence, if we are disturbed by the growing conformity of knowledge, of values, of attitudes, which our present system induces, then we may wish to set up conditions of learning which make for uniqueness, for self-direction, and for self-initiated learning.” - Carl Rogers

  11. Quoting Ms. Phillips, “Let’s NOT let history repeat itself.” Let’s keep moving forward and keep uniforms OUT of Millville!
