Having a terrible school administrator can literally ruin your life — mentally, emotionally, financially, socially. The gaslighting, manipulation, ineptitude, deception. Smh. I am so sorry for any who have been forced to suffer through this.
@TeachMrReed I would love coding and trade type classes to be taught starting in 5th grade for our kiddos of all skin colors that need it - especially those who are not considered academically “smart” but who could flourish and become independent because their intelligence stems elsewhere.
“Let’s hug for 60 seconds” my 16 year old son said to me yesterday morning…
“What? Is this a school assignment or something?” I joked back…
“Nope. I just want to hug you…” he responded.
And so we just hugged…
Swayed a little…
Felt each other breathing…
No bro pats 😂 to make things feel more “manly”
Didn’t say anything…
Just hugged…
For. 60. Seconds.
I haven’t been hugged nor have I hugged someone else for that long in a long time.
So thank you son…
Thank you for giving me breath today that I didn’t know I would need.
A long hug is more valuable than anything else you could give someone today.

McKennon could have spent the rest of his life telling his children and grandchildren about the time he scored a touchdown in the superbowl. I'm sure he has dreamed of that moment since he was a child, and knows he may never get the opportunity again. Instead, with 1 min left, he chose to sacrifice that accomplishment to better the chances that all of his teammates get a ring. I will always be a fan. This is a picture that should be put up in every high school gym in the country.
The key to being an effective school leader is hiring great teachers and always supporting and building the teachers you have. Everyone wants to feel supported and valued.
I think one of the most telling attributes of an effective leader is that they bring out the best in those they lead. Imagine what a staff can do when they feel valued, supported, and appreciated!
