How to Be a Boss

Let me tell you a quick story...

I looked around my classroom. Students’ body language, sent me a blaring warning.

Some students used their desks as pillows. Some students strong enough to keep their head up wore frowns or blank expressions drained of life, staring into space.

How come my lessons didn't connect?

I needed to know the problem.

I halted instruction, “What’s the problem?" I asked. "What do you not learn in school that you desperately wish you did?” Their answers that day caused me to ask the same question to every class since. Year after year, the replies have been the consistent.

Their answer to my question?

Heads sprung up, frowns turned to genuine smiles, and life flooded back into their blank stares.

Sliding to the edge of their seats, they said in unison, “We want to learn real-world stuff, Mister…You know, like practical things we can use when we leave here. Important stuff like how to pay your taxes, how you get credit, or how to start a business.”

After hearing their heart, my heart leapt with enthusiasm! I was on to something...

Later that day, I sat down at my study table and talked to Gary, the co-author of “How to Be a Boss,” determined to create something powerful—a unit that would inspire and transform.

This unit will engage students in a way that other units simply can’t. It will turn students into business-minded thinkers who see their education as valuable for everyday life.
