The future of our children rests in
the hands and hearts of the folks teaching them day in and day out. During this time of uncertainty, we are
responsible for educating children by meeting them where they are. Though the location varies, consistency lies
in the educational journey of our students. We establish that consistency through practice.
Hope is the only aspect of this journey that the students can attach themselves
to. Teaching students about hope affords
them the opportunity to understand that their dreams are attainable and rooted
in discipline. They learn discipline by experiencing
it. This is a necessary part of their
journey and must be practiced. My blogs
are shorter during the pandemic in an effort to get right to the point. My point is plain and simple: Hope is a discipline and when we teach our
students about hope, we are teaching them how to make dreams come true. As we begin our journey this year, don’t
forget to include hope; it’s essential.
