We don’t have a classroom management problem.
We have an emotional regulation crisis that teachers are being asked to handle.
Somehow, “classroom management” has turned into:
• de-escalating trauma
• supporting anxiety and depression
• calming panic attacks
• breaking up fights
• being cursed at, threatened, and even assaulted
• being the counselor, social worker, and crisis team
And at the same time…
we remove the very things that actually help:
• recess
• movement
• art
• play
• connection
Teachers aren’t trained for this.
And they shouldn’t have to be.
Classroom management was never meant to do all of this.
It’s about:
relationships
rules
routines
responsibility
That’s it.
It was never designed to replace what families, communities, and systems failed to provide.
And until we stop offloading every societal failure onto schools,
teachers will keep drowning under expectations no human can meet.
If every child came ready to be taught, teaching would be easy. But some need food. Some need supplies. Some need love. Some need nurturing. Some need patience and some to be seen. Teachers meet them where they are as they enter their classroom, and that is most honorable.
I am convinced that one of the most important things a staff member can do to contribute to a strong culture is to be excited about their job.
This does not require skill, experience, or innovation. But it does require heart.
Sometimes there are circumstances in your work environment that are awful. That’s the reality. Most of those circumstances are out of your control. That’s also the reality.
Keep caring about students. Keep supporting your colleagues. Don’t overlook the little moments of joy.
Le monde change, et l'école doit évoluer avec lui. 🌍💡

We talk about the importance of teachers developing relationships with students. But it’s also important for administrators to develop relationships with their teachers. That is how they support them… how they encourage them… how they lead them. It is how culture is built.
If you want to make a difference, bring good energy into the room. It doesn’t matter what room we’re talking about.
You don’t have to be the smartest, most creative, most innovative, or most dynamic.
If you bring good energy, you will add value… and you’ll make a difference!
