Probably the best thing about School Connections is the comararderie and openness in communication between schools and practitioners. In other conference venues in the “school business”, unfortunately, it’s more “business” than students fit-to-schools, and that is not the case here in San Francisco. Re-connecting with domestic and international partners like Shawnigan in BC, the Knox School in Saint James, Marvelwood in Kent, Ecole d’Humanite in Switzerland (and the list goes on) makes School Connections unique and refreshing in it’s approach to private education. San Francisco? Not a bad place to hold a conference, eh? Steve Blanchard, Carrie, and myself had a great time together and nailed down projects we’re collaborating on together. Hopefully in the future, some of these conferences will open up to parents who can see for themselves what is truly out there in the private school community. In the meantime, call on the professionals, and we can help find the correct solution, not just an opinion.
