Worried about the youth of today? Don’t be.If you think otherwise consider the undertakings of Stella Brockman School seventh and eighth graders during the school year that is about to come to a close.They participated in an endeavor dubbed “Genius Hour.” It entailed selecting a project, pitching it to a teacher, and then delving into research, putting a presentation together and delivering it. It starts with an objective and ends with a conclusion based on trials, tribulations, and results while at the same time driving home the importance of time management, perseverance, and understanding that trying and failing is a an effective way to learn and eventually scale mountains you thought were too steep to conquer.I had the privilege Monday of being part of a community panel judging eight student presentations.
