I’ve been a loyal @SouthwestAir flyer for years in part because their disability preboarding policies have always been so accommodating but after the interaction I just had at DCA I may be permanently switching airlines because wow was that a dehumanizing exchange!

Less effective Teachers do the right things when they feel like it. The best Teachers do the right things regardless of how they feel. Things like:
✔️ Smiling
✔️ Greeting Kids at the door
✔️ Giving Extra support
✔️ Involving parents
✔️ Serving
✔️ Showing kids they care
