I may be naive, but if I was a parent I would trust the person (teacher) who spends 180 days with my child, cares about my child, nurtures my child, and who would take a bullet for my child, and NOT a politician or news pundit who doesn’t do ANY of the things I listed.

This practice helps me look for the good. We will see what we look for.
Remember that.
