Teaching isn’t a neat or neutral profession. It’s slow, tangled, and more honest than anything I ever did in a boardroom. But every time a student looks up from the lesson and asks a better question than the one I wrote, I remember why I left the launch pads behind.
Ray, as a retired teacher and in recognition of the youth whose lives touched mine, thank you. The four walls of my classroom were where we felt safe, got to know one another, and began to realize our own selves…even as we discussed the tension between the culture we lived in and the reality we desired.
This made me smile this morning. When I started this blog, it was something for myself, a meditation of sorts, and in that way it's working. The fact that an actual teacher found it and appreciates it means the world to me. Thank you for this generous comment

Thanks for creating a safe container in your class for these kids to reflect, Ray. Those logs somehow remind me of ServiceSpace pod prompts :)
Don’t tell anyone I stole the idea😉
Lol of all the systems, SSp's probably the optimal one to propogate!
