Finish Chip's book Peak. Good stuff. I agree with it in a huge way. I think Maslow provides a script for even more than he has alluded to. Base layer.
Transcendance
Self-actualization
Aestetic Beauty
Need to know and understand
Esteem Needs
Need for belonging and love
Safety needs
Physical needs- food, water, air, & sleep
Schools needs to start at the bottom to assess their viability. I would argue that schools that are working exist at the need to know and understand and above. If a students is hungry they will not be able to work at their highest ability. Don't get me started on sleep, a large number of middle and high schoolers exist right below zombie status. We are a nation of under slept masses and we are reinforcing this lesson into our teenagers at their expense.
