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.
🥇🏆 State Champion 🏆🥇
Congratulations to Fisher Love -- the Class 3 Boys Long Jump State Champion with a jump of 6.98, which is also a 🌟New School Record 🌟!!!
First playoff loss in 1,106 days. Just a crushing feeling in #ChiefsKingdom.
But still a historic season and team that became the first in Super Bowl history to come one win shy of a 3-Peat. A run that still beat the odds. Here’s to the next one, Kansas City.
Crazy that you can win back to back Super Bowls & the world is dancing on your grave when you fall in the 3rd straight. This team did something NOBODY in NFL history has ever done the last 3 seasons, advancing farther than any back to back Super Bowl Champ.
