Never been a fan of token reward systems, but am a big fan of token novelty approaches.

For our , I am going to give kids pennies for their thoughts.

Little matters more to me than their voices.

'Thou shalt not judge yourself in the last month of school.'

Reminder to all my teacher peeps of this critical commandment.

From one who truly appreciates what it is to teach.

'Sy, can you explain that again? I wasn't really listening.'

Once upon a classroom, I might've been annoyed, even offended (not listening to ME?!!).

Now, I accept it as part of the package of working with humans, who--young or old--are often not listening.

Human work.

Learning.

If that's the goal, then everything we do contributes to this end.

If that's not the goal, then everything we do contributes to a different end.

I'm not sure we always know our ends from our ends.

Friday was the most 'absenteeist' day I've experienced in this year of the greatest absenteeism of my career.

Asked my seniors (those who were there) if this is the new normal.

Nods around the room.

We ain't going back.

We can only go forward.

And we must evolve.

If anyone knows who's in charge, would you please let them know that I'd like a meeting?

We've got some shit to get together.

My calendar is clear.
