Networking & learning alongside these middle level VP’s! Great, insightful conversation paired w/ genuine laughter. We have a way forward to get our Middle Level schools to be communities built upon pilina (relationships). We are melting walls!

My emotions are scattered, an emotional neurodivergence. It’s heavy, weighted thoughts of wanting to fix things but feeling powerless to do so. Ebbing and flowing between empathy and apathy - sometimes, I just stare into nothingness and feel numb.

[Elson Barba @no1els808]

Every bit helps. Thank you!

I told parent last year that at the middle school level, while they are older - they still need to be noticed, valued, and loved. We gotta Love ‘em and love them harder.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

Powerful reminder. 🧡

@DylanIsWriting The Good Earth - as a HS sophomore, it was a slow and painful read.

[Elson Barba @no1els808]

Yes! The latter is about continual growth.

Does honesty have to be mean? I think not. In fact, honesty toward someone asks for the complete opposite. It’s necessary to present honesty w/ kindness, nurturing, and care. Choose your words wisely.

Kindness counts! 🧡

Do you agree?

[Elson Barba @no1els808]

Seek to understand. Empathy is huge in building relationships.

[Brad Weinstein @WeinsteinEdu]

We must always seek to understand others! 🙌
