Karen Fussell, principal of Our Lady of the Assumption School, speaks with George Alger about how modern education focuses on the whole child, emphasizing critical thinking, creativity, and social-emotional welfare, moving beyond rote memorization.
Ms. Fussell stresses that parents are the first and most lasting teachers and can support their children by partnering with teachers, attending school events, and modeling curiosity.
She also advises that homework should be an extension of school learning, not a punishment, and discusses how to support students struggling with subjects like algebra.
