I live in a border state. I appreciate the need to enforce and protect our international boundaries, but this zero-tolerance policy is cruel. It is immoral. And it breaks my heart.

As is true for all Mammals, we nurture, care for, and protect our young. So I’m guessing that if we were Bears, ICE agents who separated children from their parents would have all been mauled by now.
Teachers: Summer Reading to Cultivate Your Emotional Resilience
Immerse yourself in these books to renew yourself for the coming school year.

Teaching is an exhausting gig. It's okay to take a break in the summer. Read a book. Watch movies. Go hiking. Swim. Binge watch Stranger Things. Kick the soccer ball around with your daughter. You've poured your heart and soul into this gig. You shouldn't feel guilty for resting.
For good administrators, “teacher appreciation” is not about a certain week... it’s about a certain mindset. It’s about a recognition that they do the most important work in the school. It’s an abiding respect for the dedication and impact that teachers demonstrate all year.
