Kids who aren’t enjoying learning, aren’t learning.
⁦@chrisemdin⁩ - sometimes fighting for kids can be hard... Culture eats structure for lunch! Whenever I feel like the adults in the room just aren’t getting it, I watch this video and reset my perspective. Thank you for these words! youtu.be/7BD6c4kwg5o

β€œBeing quiet and sitting still are not the blueprint for success in any context. They are a direct pathway to being overlooked and taken advantage of. To commit to β€œBe quiet. Sit still.” As a classroom strategy is to educate children into insignificance. β€œ props-@MisterMinor

Not all students are worried about homework or having a pen in class. Some are worried if they will eat tonight, or if anyone will be home, or where they will sleep tonight. Some need a hug, some need a meal, some need to know they matter. Know your students, know their needs. – at Georgia, USA
