Kindness and boundaries are not antithetical. If we were taught otherwise, it can hurt us, hurt other people, and create a co-dependent pattern of relating to the world. You can be kind, and set a boundary.
PSA:
No matter how great a new practice, program, or initiative is, you can't expect a teacher to do it well without proper time, training, practice, and support.

Parents should have high expectations for teachers, but teachers should also have high expectations for parents. Educating the whole child should be a team effort. #teachergoals
Spiritual Abuse can be hard to identify, but no less difficult to endure than any other abuse. If your calling is hindered or suppressed for the sake of conformity, get out and get help. God determines your future, not your stature within an organization. #spiritualabuse sucks
As a teacher, this is what I wish I could say to SOME parents:
Stop making excuses for your kids. STOP IT. Teach them to earn things, not demand things. Hold them to a higher standard. Challenge them. That way, when I try to challenge them, they’ll know we both expect it. #EdChat
Never forget:
✔ You are not just the art teacher
✔ You are not just the gym teacher
✔ You are not just the science teacher
✔ You are not just the history teacher
We ALL have a role to play. We are in this together. We MUST support one another. ❤️
