Hey All,
I know I haven’t posted in a while. It’s not because I don’t have time, nor is it because I’m not interested in writing or adding ideas to the academic community. I have writer’s block...I want to make sure that my posts are of the best quality and represent me as a person and educator. Sometimes it takes a while to develop ideas to write about. Enough about this, I would like to share something that has weighed heavily on my heart lately. As the beginning of the school year approaches, we face a new challenge. We face something our nation has not faced before. The constant debate on starting school again; if so, at what capacity. As a life time educator, I am torn as to what to do, and I don’t want to let my emotions contribute too much to my thoughts. As a teacher here are a few thoughts that I have:
Similar to most of you who will read this article, I also have children that will be attending school this fall. Here are a couple of thoughts that I have as a parent for this year:
I know a lot of these points seem real basic, but I am confident that these will help my children and students succeed throughout this year. I urge you to take at least one of these points and act on it; think of how that may spread in your family, community, and life. Finally, I want to leave you with one last point- don’t think about politics or the economy (as much as I know these drive our lives). Take a break from this and think about our kids. Remember it’s all about the kids!
