Feeling left out because you don’t have access to the best instructional observation tool in the world? Cheer up! Just for you, the sidekick is on the way to lend a helping hand! In the LYS spirit and practice of transparency, old school LYS Principal, The Marine, sends in the following comment: Has the LYS Nation turned into a promotion site to sell products? I am becoming disenchanted. I love the products, but sadly, they are dominating the once pure leadership scene. SC Response Not products, tools.
