Hello Friends,
 
Today we are getting to know Shelley.  She is a 3rd grade teacher.  She shares her perspective on common core.  She opens up about how students, teachers, and parents are adapting to the new teaching standards.
 
Shelley has a lifelong passion for giving back to the community and really possesses a passion for education.  She is deeply rooted to her community and genuinely cares about each student and giving them tools to help solve problems in society.
 
Common Core, she believes will give each student in America the tools they need to think critically and outside of the box.   As a brand new teaching standard, Common Core implementation is uncharted territory for everyone involved.  
 
Communication, patience, and getting informed will help us all make this transition successful.
 
Thank You,
 
Tami Diane

What's Up WIth Common Core???

HCP provides a platform for community members to speak first hand about their experiences as a citizen.  People can speak freely because, here at HCP we provide a friendly and non-judgemental ear along with comfy chairs, beverages, and snacks on demand ;)  These interviews break stereotypes, and help acquaint folks from all walks of life.  From the bottom to the top.  

We are not talking at people, we are talking to people, real people from the bottom up.  We talk about daily lives, passion, and understanding.  By putting effort into understanding our neighbor, our community, our country, and our world, we can then make educated decisions about the world.  Decisions we can take right from our neighborhood to the capitol.

Our job is to help one another.  The only way to do that is to understand one another and develop compassion.  End finger-pointing and stereotypes and become compassionate.  Compassion that becomes so clear that action is inevitable.  That is our mission.

One practical way we can see this change would be looking at voter turn out.  We would love to see voter turn out grow with every election, and for America to become a voting culture.  Now, we have all heard the history about winning the right to vote, but less than half of all Americans actually vote.   We can change this.

HCP is not here to tell you how to vote or who to vote for.  We are here to tell the story of every American citizen from the bottom up.  Personal connection to the voices and stories will provide that spark we all need to get moving.  Moving whichever way your own heart guides you.

Hi Friends, Today's episode is about the aftermath of the presidential election. We have worked so hard, for generations, and now we are faced with so much work that needs to be done.

Hi Friends, Can we agree to try and be more politically correct? It is no coincidence that the word polite and politics are related. To be politically minded, or correct is polite. Therefore, it is impolite to use offensive language amongst ppl in the community or workplace.  YOU are not Bill Mahr. He can be politically incorrect because he has a fan base that lets him do so. To be politically incorrect at, say, work, then you are just an impolite asshole.
