Don't Give Up the Ghost!
As the end of his article states,
"The nasty spirits that replace teachers who give up the ghost can negatively influence a student's desire to learn or engage with classmates and school. Fear is powerful and its influence is pervasive.
We owe too much to our students, our schools, and ourselves to give up the ghost."
Halloween Fun!
