Hello everyone! Today we have the rare one part episode where I discuss what's best for kids with Dr. Michael J. Hynes! Dr. Hynes is the Superintendent of Schools for the Patchogue Medford School District, and has begun to make waves in the educational community with his approach to supporting schools, teachers, and students. He emphasizes the importance of play and recess in schools and yoga and mindfulness in the classroom. He believes in teaching the whole child, as well as keeping up with his own teaching abilities by stepping into the class and teaching a lesson!  There aren't a lot of superintendents like Dr. Hynes, even fewer who openly discuss how teachers should buck and push at the system in order to do what's right for kids! I absolutely love the message and effort Dr. Hynes puts forth, and I know you will too. Don't forget to check out his TedTalk here! Enjoy! Don’t forget to subscribe and review the show on iTunes!
