Whether we’re struggling with true work-life imbalance, or other emotional issues that make us exhausted, drained or anxious, how can we process those feelings in a way that will be helpful?

BBC News - Bill Oddie says lithium toxicity was 'almost fatal' . If you are on Lithium you should have regular blood tests and tests of your kidney function. Ask to be given the results of these so that you can keep your own record. https://t.co/TCwekvjqJ2
In the midst of challenging times for parents of kids with emotional health issues, there is help. Don't be afraid to ask for help and direction from professionals, even if you don't have $. You'd be hard-pressed to find someone who wouldn't give you at least something of benefit
Character counts. I'm spending more and more focus on this personally, and more focus on this with staff. Job skills mean little if you aren't a person of integrity, honesty, grit, and benevolence.
If you want to improve behaviour in schools long term you have to get the children to care about their school.
When I see successful schools the common factor isn’t how behaviour is enforced it’s how children give a stuff about their school.
I don’t want silent corridors in our school. Calm, orderly, well-mannered...yes please. I want children that know how to behave and do it without being watched and monitored. The true test of a behaviour is what children do when you’re not watching not what they do when you are.
We spend so much time trying to serve the neediest kids brag we often miss the solid students who need to be challenged. It’s a sucky feeling losing those kids bc we didn’t meet their needs.
