"They hold each other accountable with the principles." Dwight Moudy and John Reffett sit down with Principal Mandy Bly, Assistant Principal Cierra Hobbs, and Teacher Abigail Bradbury from Monroe Central Elementary, who they call the "poster child" for their program's success. The educators share how teaching core ethics, grit, teamwork, and responsibility through the Code of the West resonates deeply with their students and the surrounding rural community. They reveal that the principles are so integrated—through daily announcements and activities—that students have them memorized, often use them to hold each other accountable, and carry the lessons far beyond fifth grade. Learn why the program is a vital tool for building character and fostering a tremendously positive school environment.

En fantastisk app med et enormt stort udvalg af spændende podcasts. Podimo formår virkelig at lave godt indhold, der takler de lidt mere svære emner. At der så også er lydbøger oveni til en billig pris, gør at det er blevet min favorit app.

Rigtig god tjeneste med gode eksklusive podcasts og derudover et kæmpe udvalg af podcasts og lydbøger. Kan varmt anbefales, om ikke andet så udelukkende pga Dårligdommerne, Klovn podcast, Hakkedrengene og Han duo 😁 👍
Podimo er blevet uundværlig! Til lange bilture, hverdagen, rengøringen og i det hele taget, når man trænger til lidt adspredelse.
