WHAT IS TEAM WORK?

"Team work is something that you learn when you are little. You have to get along with the people you are working with. You have to listen to their ideas and put some input in what you are supposed 2 be doing. Teams work together of course and put aside any differences to get your work done. To be in a team you have to be willing to let others take turns and not just try to do everything yourself."

EDUCATION

Every student learning something
Different from peace to
Unity from unity to religion
Caring more
About the books and less about
The for real situations and history
Individuals try to pay attention to others
Opinions on all events and situations
Never what's really important
