“Any variance that we see in educational performance that’s identifiable by race, gender or ethnicity is not because of racial or ethnic differences, but the social policies and social practices which lead to these differences.”
-John H. Jackson at the COE 32nd Annual Conference

Something to inspire us for the coming year
***Landfill Harmonic is an upcoming feature-length documentary about a remarkable musical orchestra in Paraguay, where young musicians play instruments made from trash.***
I’m sure that you share with us the sense of lingering sadness that the entire country has been feeling in light of what happened earlier this month in a Connecticut town located less than 30 minutes from our office. So, in the event that you haven’t seen it as yet, I’m hoping that the video above — and what it tells us about the human spirit — will be as inspiring to you and your students as it has been to all of us at ComFit.
Our best and heartfelt wishes extend to you, your staff members, and your students for a happy, prosperous, and healthy 2013.

ComFit Learning Testimonials
“Wow! You are amazing-and fast! I remember calling last semester with questions as well and, I must say, the people who help me are always so kind and eager to assist. I was not expecting that from a company that has so many schools to take care of, but I cannot tell you how happy it makes me. Thank you!” – State College Florida
“We are really looking forward to our training session. We are already very impressed with the results we are getting with our limited usage, so we are excited to learn about all of the possibilities.” – University of Central Oklahoma
“I had my student look over the program and take the assessment, it actually surprised me with the results…he feels it would be extremely helpful in his learning. Also, many students walked past the computer and he told them what he was doing and many came asking me about it asking if it would help them prepare for the Compass test. It did perk interests among the students that would be using it.” – Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College
“Every time I spoke with you on the phone, you were always patient and sympathetic, and always willing to help. I never doubted that the problem would be taken care of. Over the years as I’ve been teaching with technology, I’ve dealt with many companies that have been less than helpful…I can say that has always been a pleasure to deal with ComFit.” – State College of Florida
