We’re never too important (or too busy!) to be nice to people. As teachers and administrators, our days will always be busy, but I assure you—there’s always time to be kind. #edchat

Rules tell students what not to do, which is important. But, procedures, routines, expectations, and responsibilities teach students what to do, which is even more important!

Hard days are inevitable. It doesn’t mean you’ve failed or there’s something inadequate about you! Learn to accept bad days for what they are and move on. Tomorrow is always a chance for a better day. #edchat
