Schools are now structured so that the majority of student misbehaviors essentially have ZERO consequences…and that’s horrible for schools overall…but especially for the students that are not misbehaving.
The other day some educator pals suggested I make some shirts with A Work in Progress on it — that it could be empowering and helpful for people to announce themselves as such. I’m still figuring out what it would look like, but if there’s interest, I’ll do it. What do you think?

Dear Teacher,
Your kids missed you. Not your classroom. Not your content. They missed you.
You did that.
No easy thing to be what kids need. But it’s less-hard when all they need is you (to be you).
Let that be the lift you need tomorrow.
Sincerely,
Not-So-Secret Admirer
Standardized tests have no place in elementary education. Because testing becomes the focus of education instead of learning. We take away the fun and excitement of learning, playing, exploring, & creating. We create test takers instead of problem solvers and innovators.
