Athens Renaissance students who participate in our “Little Americans History Club” with Dr. Chris Paysinger searched for artifacts in the historical district of downtown Athens. Their first find was a 100 year old brass hair clip.

They HATE you at the top
They IGNORE you in the middle
They DISRESPECT you at the bottom

You’ll never have everyone’s approval. So it’s best to just focus on what you’re doing. 💯

[Dr. Erika Garcia Niles @flyingmonkey13]

Be you. Unapologetically.

There’s no app.
You can’t buy it on Teachers pay Teachers.
Pinterest will only take you so far.

It may be messy.
It may be too much for some,
and not enough for others.

Some people won’t like it.
Those aren’t your people.

Be you.

It’s important to remember, it’s ONLY a snapshot. Every standard and every expectation will not be met in a 5 minute fly by. #truth

[Danny Steele @SteeleThoughts]

It’s great for administrators to pop in classes. But maybe it’s good for them to withhold judgment if they happen to see something that they don’t like. It’s only a snapshot, and they may have missed some brilliance 5 minutes earlier.

If the next time you say ‘hello’ to a student in the hallway they look startled & confused, then it more than likely means there aren’t enough adults speaking to #students in non-academic spaces.

It also means it’s time to double down on greetings & salutations.

Being positive won’t guarantee you’ll succeed. But being negative will guarantee you won’t.
