Jill, I'm delighted (but not surprised) that Mr. Meyer's team tracks what's happening online. Nick, I'm always happy to know about new tools, particularly those focused on kids.

I think educational equity and smarter education is a key. As a teacher, I see kids who don't have any idea what their talents are or how to leverage them or who are thwarted because the talents they have don't fit or are ground down by cookie cutter school settings. If you like Buckingham's approach, you have to check out Jenifer Fox's book Your Child's Strengths (Viking 2008). She points out that focusing on kids strengths in school is an equity and justice issue. And she shows how to do it. Great post. I think educational equity and smarter education is a key.

I must admit, I received your posting because I work for Danny Meyer (thanks for the shout out!), but I thought your blog was wonderful and touched on the many things we can do each day in our lives both private and business that create opportunities for growth, learning, teaching, and the support of those less fortunate that ourselves. thank you! Jana,

I sponsor two children, one in Cambodia and another in Bangladesh. It's only $30 per month for each child, and it helps them and their communities a great deal. <a href='http://www.worldvision.org' rel="nofollow">World Vision</a> What about direct support?
