Thought of the week
If kids come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job easier. If they do not come to us from strong, healthy functioning families, it makes our job more important.
I know we have some students that challenge us from the word GO. But, have you ever considered that we may be the BEST thing to happen to them in a long time?
