Never forget why you do what you do and who you do it for‚ and make sure everything you do honors that. What I’ve seen happen often times (especially in… yup‚ you guessed it: the education reform movement)‚ is that intentions start out good but the sword starts to swing the other way when money‚ power‚ and statistics are valued over the lives and humanity of students. “Kids first” and “For the kids” becomes merely rhetoric‚ as people jump to enact radically dangerous and untested policies that do
