Each student is looking for a chance to shine; they’re looking for an opportunity to be recognized for their talents.

No matter how hard our students push back or how persistent they are in saying ‘they don’t care,’ they care.

And deep down, they want to be valued.

Let's look for the Goldfish, instead of punishing the Shark! via @AmyKCrawford
