6. Thanks. Some sadness, true, but I'll tell you something.

We took a group of kids studying energy and sustainability, part of a public charter school career academy (more than 1/2 at risk of academic failure), on a train ride with rail system designers and engineers.

The kids have a fresh attitude, they see things differently.

I wish the banking industry was as comprehensible to regular people as energy efficient designs, because it might be easier to educate.

Still, once we reach into classrooms and tell kids what the hell they've been doing to us, they will NOT take it.

So, the question is how do we do this, will our teachers be allowed to teach the truth?

I know I will.
