Each week, a new set of
academic questions will be posted. The answers to the questions will be at
the bottom of the page. There will be four categories of questions:
English, Math, Science, and Social Studies. Between the questions and
answers will a work ethics statement and statements and comments from Ron
Clark's book The Essential 55. Ron Clark has been a teacher for
fifteen years. He began his career in rural North Carolina and then went
north to teach in Harlem. After leaving Harlem, he co-founded The Ron
Clark Academy in Atlanta, Georgia. Ron was the recipient of the 2001
Disney Teacher of the Year Award, In 2006, a movie was made about his move
to Harlem. The name of the movie is The Ron Clark Story. I
was privileged to hear Mr. Clark speak at the 2009 NCPN Conference in Atlanta.
