Love this story from rural @MoEducation schools. Blane is a graduate of our special education program @MoState_CLSE and is a great example of how important it is that our rural kids return home to teach!!! "In rural schools, all teachers wear lots of hats." @nrea1@Rural_Schools

If I have a concern about something at my kid’s school… I should:
A. Post about it on social media
OR
B. Contact someone at the

Parents: You’re raising a child, not an athlete. Teach them respect, hard work, how to be a good person. Show them what character & work ethic are. Hold them accountable. Teach them that they won’t ever get what they don’t earn. Strong, well-rounded kids find success much easier!
Teaching is a calling and I KNOW it is not easy, but you are doing Gods work and preparing Gods children for times such as these - If God calls you to teach He WILL give you the strength to get through it - Don’t quit and don’t give up the end results will be worth the trials!
