High school folks, how’s the absenteeism in your neck of the woods?

Take the long way home.
If we really knew what we were doing with education, we probably wouldn’t be doing what we are doing with education.
We can do better.

We all are human.
What might we all learn from our experiential existence?

Show me a teacher who’s over-reliant on rubrics, and I’ll show you a teacher who’s likely more concerned with grading than learning.
There’s Monday.
Then, there’s Monday after daylight savings.
And, finally, there’s Monday after daylight savings for teachers.
The most manic of Mondays.

Thank you. Hope you find some value in it. Would love to hear your thoughts at some point. Happy Sunday. 🙂
Monte, I don’t know how I missed reading this, but I’m fixing that now. Ordered. Can’t wait to read it!

“I’m lost.”
One of the first and most important admissions when lost in the woods.
Today’s intervention session.
3 groups.
1. I’m back at camp.
2. I have the map.
3. I’m lost.
Kids choose, but I will be making a hard sell for the importance of admitting you’re lost.
Learning is not linear.

“Imma try to read it. I need to get better at reading.”
I offered him the summary of part one. He declined. With roughly 70 days left in his senior year. HE decided for HIMSELF to read.
Never too late.
Learning happens in its own time and way.
For each, a size.
“Yo, fam, just wanted to let ya know I’m dipping. Won’t be here 6th.”
This from the kiddo who mean-mugged me for 3 years in the hallway after an incident from when he was a freshman.
He’s become one of my faves.
Who’d a thunk it?
Guess we all just need time to know and grow.

Comfort, not fashion.

Well, the kids seemed to miss me.
Kids are truly the best. 🙂
Humbling, this life.
