@heymrsbond I attended the funeral of my close friend’s daughter 16 years ago. The image is absolutely seared into my brain and I wish it wasn’t there. I think of it often.
It’s a good thing to protect yourself. Your students know you are there for them. It’s possible to do both.
@heymrsbond The love affair between a 5th grader and their highlighter is something to behold. And I will never get tired of them holding up white boards to show me they got the right answer to a hard math problem.
I was touched to see Gus Walz’s joy when his dad @Tim_Walz took the stage last night. Thankful for you showing us all what real love looks like, Gus.
Let’s be a nation that embraces this kind of warmth and vulnerability, instead of making fun or mocking it. We could all use some of Gus’s example in our own lives.
