Marva Collins

Comment: In early fall of 2007, a friend invited me to visit an elementary school in nearby Panama City, Florida, to hear Marva Collins. After teaching “the worst class in the school” for three hours that morning, Mrs. Collins met with the faculty and guests to talk about education. Her comments in the 5th article reminded me of what she said that day, and I encourage you to read it, as well as her other articles. A native of my home state of Alabama, Marva Collins is a very wise and delightful woman and an excellent teacher. I highly recommend her website. Also don’t miss reading her biography.
