Such a great lesson! Believe in someone else and be a first follower. Without you, they are just a lone nut.

This is spot on. Well worth the read.

For generations, kids had three worlds:
1. Home
2. School
3. A third place; the park, the field, the neighborhood, the church gym, the rec center.
That third place is where kids learned: • how to solve problems without an adult
• how to read emotions and faces
• how to handle conflict
• how to lose
• how to make friends
• how to negotiate and compromise
• how to sit with frustration
• how to just be a kid
But today?
Most kids' third place is a screen.
A screen doesn’t teach boundaries.
A screen doesn’t teach emotional regulation.
A screen doesn’t teach cooperation or conflict skills.
A screen doesn’t teach patience or self-control.
So all the social and emotional skills kids used to practice before they walked into school…
they have to learn inside school now.
And that’s why:
behavior feels different
attention feels different
emotions feel bigger
classroom management is tougher.
This isn’t a “kids these days” problem.
It’s a cultural shift.
When the third place disappears, childhood changes.
And schools end up carrying what the community used to teach.
Until kids get their third place back, we’re going to keep seeing the fallout

Teachers ❤️

This is so good!

[Golf Digest @GolfDigest]

Scottie Scheffler just gave one of the best (and deepest) press conference answers ever heard.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Absolutely! Always see the soul of the person in front of you.

[Jonathan Alsheimer @mr_Alsheimer]

This 💯🙌❤️

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

This … is what teachers do.

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

The most enduring marker of success isn't wealth, fame, or power. It’s what we create and contribute to others.

In the short run, status symbols capture attention. In the long run, achievement is judged by impact.

The highest accomplishment is improving the lives of others.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Absolutely, on all answers. Human interaction and engagement will always be better than any and every technology. We learn and grow best through human connection. Nothing will ever replace that.

[The Principal’s Office @educator4ever36]

Teachers - could you teach for two weeks without any tech except a copy machine? No power points, no videos, just you and the content. Would you be able to provide the same level of engagement? Why or why not?

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Lead From Where You Are is a MUST READ for all leaders in education. It’s that good.

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

See the PEOPLE. Fix the ENVIRONMENT so they can do their best work. GO. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #HackingLeadership #1minwalk2work #CraftingTheCulture #GiveYourselfAChance

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Absolutely!

To every teacher as you wrap up the year and recharge for next year. This is for you...

You deserve more. More pay. More respect. More recognition. You should be treated like the professionals you are—because that’s exactly what you are.

And yet, even when the system falls short, you don’t.

You still show up. You still pour your heart into your students. You still believe in their potential, even when they don’t believe in themselves.

Thank you—for being their constant.
Thank you—for helping them grow into who they’re meant to be.
Thank you—for making a difference that can’t be measured by a paycheck.
There is no adult outside the family who matters more to a child than a teacher.
Never forget that. Never underestimate your impact.
Thank You!

This is such a good read!

Liking this thought!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

Our greatest regrets are rarely failures to reach our goals. They're usually failures to uphold our values.

Few people wish they'd been more ambitious. Many wish they'd been more courageous and generous.

Success lies in building a career. Fulfillment lies in building character.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Such great advice right here!

[The Winning Difference @thewinningdiff1]

“Just win every day that’s in front of you. Don’t worry about the future, don’t worry about the past, don’t worry about your mistakes. Don’t worry about anything but what you’re doing in that moment. Winning that day, conquering that day and just be where your feet are,”Paige Bueckers

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

This right here … so good.

[Jon Gordon @JonGordon11]

As a leader here are 3 things your team wants from you:
1. Direction: Provide clarity which leads to focused action.
2. Belief: Encourage and let them know you believe in them and what they can accomplish.
3. Trust: They want to know you trust them and that they can trust you.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Love this thought!

[Adam Grant @AdamMGrant]

We shouldn’t ask kids what they want to be when they grow up. It encourages them to define themselves in terms of work.

Who we become is not a question of career—it’s a matter of character.

The highest aspiration is to be a person of generosity, integrity, humility, and wisdom.

[The Global Goals @TheGlobalGoals]

Kindness is contagious 💛 and when we extend it to each other and the planet, we create a ripple effect of change.

This #RandomActsOfKindnessDay, let’s make small gestures that add up to something big. Because a better world starts with us. One act of kindness at a time.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

@Joe_Sanfelippo Absolutely! Appreciate your wisdom and work in sharing it with us all.

[Kevin Marushack @KMarushack]

Missed this one before the break 🤦‍♂️. My goodness, this is absolute gold right here. It’s all about people and meeting them where they are at. Nothing more than that.

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

LEADERS!!! Understand how many EXTERNAL FACTORS impact the adults in the building. EVERYBODY is going through SOMETHING…
and they’re doing the best that they can.

So good and so true. Be present, be intentional, value the people you work with and let them know. Sometimes the littlest of things makes the greatest of impacts. Like 30 seconds.

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

LEADERS!!! What do you want people to remember? I’m not here to add things to your plate…but if you do, try to add a few things that MAKE PEOPLE SMILE. When that happens, you will too. Promise.

30 seconds … is all it takes sometimes to make the biggest of difference for others. Love this!

[Joe Sanfelippo @Joe_Sanfelippo]

Send the text message, people. It takes 30 seconds. Makes everyone feel better. Even if this is the response…

[Emily Paschall @EmilyAPaschall]

There’s a kid who needs you to notice them today.

Greet every kid at the door.
Be intentional about making conversations with kids throughout the day.

Show. That. You. Care.

Love kids first. Then teach your heart out!
