Age 5,there was a darkness in my chest from not being loved.
My 1st teacher, Ms Arkinson,changed that. She taught me to wash,that I was enough,that I was worthy.
She placed a light in my chest that has never gone out!
Today,I got to meet her again. Today, I said thank you!
I loved this story about children’s behaviour - which shows how emotional context can be prioritised over decontextualised action. Nobody had to be shamed. Natural consequences occurred. A boy’s heart had help.
I celebrate the many Scottish schools I know who operate this way.
A gift for you....
