What, exactly, is "home"?

Home presupposes non-home, the world "out there."

Home is an INHALATION to that place you return to

in ORDER the BETTER to exhale and re-emerge into and re-engage the world.

Home: a place in your mind as much as the physical realm.

Create one.

I’m a huge fan of having a first period advisory that focuses exclusively on restorative circles. It may be one of the most high leverage/proactive/preventive things a school can do to transform performance. Building Community With Restorative Circles https://t.co/KfGtFZIifb
