If you only knew how amazing the youth were, I’m sure you’d put aside your professional aspirations and do your jobs well. I’ve only been in class for 5 weeks, very tumultuous weeks, but I’ve seen a breadth of understanding and context that I don’t think you see, ever. Otherwise you would stop thinking the answer is in administration.  You’d realize that if you only listened to them, how much you’d get from them.  They need guidance not policy.  Teachers are some of the most amazing people and i have a new found respect for those of them who do their jobs well.
