Guest speaker Richard Kreutzberg is writing a book aimed at solving the root cause of the problems of disadvantaged kids - illustrated dramatically by the events in Baltimore this month. The solution is to offer these kids a needs driven curriculum in school rather than the present one-size-fits-all pre-college curriculum that has little to do with furnishing the tools they need to succeed in life and the world of work.
Rotary International Scholars [L-R] Misa Azuma (Japan), Will Todman (England), Jun Sugihara (Japan) and Alessia Thiebaud (Italy) spoke at the 35th Annual Potomac-Bethesda Rotary Club's International Night hosted by the Bretton Woods Recreation Center.
