Who else wants their kids to be self-motivated and in charge of their own future?

Wouldn’t it be good to come home and know that you won’t have to fight over the remote control to turn off the TV so that your kids finally get on with their homework?

Wouldn’t it be good to feel confident that your kids are putting as much passion into their learning as into Facebook or socializing?

Wouldn’t it be good to suddenly see their true potential expressed in their school work and the happiness it would create in them?

Just take a few minutes now to see the possibilities.

If you don’t finish reading this page, your kids could end up completely apathetic by age 17, with no sense of direction.  Then the door is open to all sorts of trouble, that you may not be able to control.

 Take a few seconds to watch this:

Without a sense of responsibility, your kids are at risk.  If they don’t take charge for their life, somebody else will for them…

When your kids take responsibility, they take control!

They accept their part in all situations, good or bad and learn from them and grow.

They stop blaming others and circumstances.

They become empowered and know where their life is going.

Responsible kids start looking at school in a different way.  They enjoy the challenges and welcome new ones.  They learn from their mistakes and failures and build new strengths from them.  They understand priorities and get their homework done.  They develop their strengths and learn to manage their weaknesses.  They make the most of the chance of an education.

In other words, they are self-motivated.  Imagine what your life would be like with kids like that!

It doesn’t matter how old they are, where you are from and what school they go to.  All kids can take responsibility.  Keep reading and we’ll show you how.

Ms. Bernard was a crucial aspect of my son’s academic success.  She managed to instill a sense of responsibility in his daily tasks as well as an increased desire to succeed.  She started a daily routine that provided him guidance and goals to follow through with.  She is motivational and has a tremendous sense of understanding.  My son’s success last year was attributed to her compatibility with my son’s individual needs.  I trust she will bring on to others the same dedication and assertiveness that she provided to us.  She is a key role in what the vocation of teaching and guidance should be.

How this all started:

Seventeen years in education!  And I loved it for many many years.  But more recently, I started to notice something that really bothered me.  And it looked like it was only going to get worse…

There were a lot of kids who had “issues”, sometimes they were called learning disabilities but very often they were just lack of work or manners.  These kids got plenty of attention from the system, even to the point where, after serious misbehaving, they would even get rewards!

Then there were the “exceptional” kids, the ones who were better than any one else at something.  The ones we sometimes call “gifted” (mmmm, I thought that everybody was gifted, but maybe I’m wrong…).  These also got a lot of attention because we wanted to make sure that they turned into the geniuses that they were supposedly meant to be and it looked really good on the school’s record!

Now, these two groups of people are not that many.  They are in fact very few.  Isn’t it a bit strange that in our culture, which is based on majority decisions for everything, education puts so much effort into such small groups of students?

Kids need some attention, but not just any and not just a select group! 

Granted, these kids need the attention…  How much, how often, what kind?  That’s another debate. 

But what happens to the vast majority of students? 

The ones whose gifts are kept inside because no one ever shows them any interest? 

The ones who are never good enough or never bad enough to raise an eyebrow? 

The ones who are too shy to speak up but who have so much inside?  

The GOOD KIDS, the AVERAGE KIDS who, in reality are the ones who have most to offer?

Are your kids in this huge group?  The chances are, they are!

Ms. Florence Bernard’s dedication and zeal proved to be a difference maker in my son’s education. Her unwavering support, as well as the advice and ideas given to my son on an everyday basis, helped my boy to go from unhappy introvert, to a better balanced, more confident student.
Our family will be forever grateful.

Thank you Ms. Bernard

Do you know that your kid has potential that is not shown at school?

Do you find that school is a chore for him/her?

Do you see their enthusiasm grow when someone shows interest in what they do?

THEN YOU UNDERSTAND WHY I DECIDED TO LEAVE TEACHING AND START SOMETHING THAT WOULD REALLY IMPACT KIDS AND THEIR FAMILIES AND CHANGE EDUCATION.

I bet you feel better now!  Great!  So give me another 6 minutes to watch this TV interview I did a while ago.

Kids with clear goals reach success

Let’s face it, for the time being, things are not going to change overnight.  Your “middle of the road” child is going to stay there unless YOU do something about it! 

Kids like yours won’t get any more attention suddenly if they don’t take the bull by the horns.  To do that, they need goals.  They need to see that there is life after school and that they can turn things around!

Allow your kids to have a vision and we’ll help them to see ways to make it happen.

Ms. Bernard saw the potential in her students and provided them with the encouragement and support they required to meet the challenges she placed before them.  [She] impressed upon her students and on us as parents the value of broad and well-rounded education; one that extends well beyond the classrooms and, indeed, beyond the shores of our Islands.  Ms. Bernard truly understands the concept of ‘education’ and its value in today’s society.
