I have SOMETHING to say!


Welcome to “I have SOMETHING to say,” where subject matter experts are unafraid and unapologetic about sharing their perspectives regarding issues that impact our lives. They speak up because they give a shit. If you’re tired of canned answers and want to FINALLY hear real people cut through the B.S. and talk about real issues, this podcast is for you.

Jul 18, 2019

This week on "I Have SOMETHING To Say!", we speak to Jack Valerio, an experienced educator who has invested 44-years to serving kids in public schools. In this episode, Jack candidly shares his views on teaching, parents, students and school environments. Now that we are gearing up for Back to School, he wants us to focus on the things that really matter in order to improve the learning experience: “Stop looking for this Ph.D. nonsense or whether they have this or that experience. Start looking for the heart that the person has. There have to be two things. They have to be task-oriented and they have to be humane.  And if they don’t have the balance of those two things, they don’t belong as Principal or Assistant Principal of a school, and certainly not as District Office personnel either.”
