public schools are sometimes the only safe place that a kid has to find help, safety, food, and a break from the chaos that might make up their home lives.
And how very right you are.
One thing that I notice in every piece of writing you compose is the love and concern you have for those in need. You work so hard to create a safe place for people. I can only imagine the effort and strength it takes to help young people find a sense of dignity amidst their broken lives. May you continue to have strength for the great work that you do.
Thank you kindly! I'm not going to lie at times it's wearing! I often wonder how long I will make it in education. Not because of the work with the kids but because the institution itself is an ever-changing landscape and often times gets in the way of men being able to do my job and enjoy it. My parents instilled that sense of social justice and the desire to help others in need. It's very much how they did live their lives daily while we were growing up and still live today. I can only hope that I can pass that along to my own two!
I have no doubt your two beloved babies will receive an education of social justice - they have a great teacher.
