My 15 year old son wrote a suicide note inside his desk today. After 6 weeks of crashing through mental health issues and pleading for help in the medical system, he decided to give up. Thankfully, his teacher found the note and the school called me. I desperately wish I could pull him out of his depression.

Go Althia!!! She's absolutely right. The provinces can't post surpluses and cry poor on health care!

A problem in education is teachers are the front line on mental health, family, poverty issues and so much more. The idea that teachers just 'teach' is over. The line between teaching and social work, or mental health is blurring. Yet teachers cannot solve societal issues. – at Brighton, England

Wisdom, both timely and timeless, from Octavia Butler: "Choose your leaders with wisdom and forethought. To be led by a coward is to be controlled by all that the coward fears . . . To be led by a liar is to ask to be told lies."

When you apply for a leadership position and don’t get the job, people will be watching how you react to rejection. So stay above it and move on. When one door closes, others will open. #resilience

Sustainable school improvement emerges from consistency rather than intensity. Focus on the next right things. Work at a natural pace. #agileschoolleadership
