Fools!<br /><br />The world has become unbalanced on the side of budget sheets, statistics, box tickers, standardisation & theories.<br /><br />For those of us who actually live and work in reality, the knowledge that what works on a spreadsheet is not always what works in actuality.<br /><br />Remember to stay true to your intuition and experience. Stay flexible but not breakable.<br /><br />Remember to keep your options open.<br /><br />Most importantly, remember why you do what you do and never allow anybody to kill your spirit and passion.<br /><br />When you think about it, teachers really are the backbone of civilisation.<br /><br />Not only do you shape the future of your students, you are shaping the future of society.<br /><br />To bear a responsibility that big, it takes a special, committed, passionate, visionary and strong person. <br /><br />That is you.Hula Hankhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02351347113128340722noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-85987839344258891642011-09-19T16:46:31.270-07:002011-09-19T16:46:31.270-07:00It's because you teach there! :)It's because you teach there! :)The Blonde Duckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00085499120024055465noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-13726682359708551152011-09-17T10:33:46.095-07:002011-09-17T10:33:46.095-07:00Congratulations!

Within days of being told <br />what we do "doesn't work", this award was announced. My colleagues and I have been beaten down by our admin from day 1 of the school year. While this award is well-deserved, there is a tired, defeated, and deflated look plastered over all of our faces. Your kind words mean a lot. <br /><br />@Becky - Stop it...I never said I didn't like republicans. I do not agree with many of the ideals they represent, just as they (you?) don't agree with the ones I am true too. <br /><br />@Jason - I know...but look at all these nice and supportive comments by people who say "good job!" and actually mean it! :)Pumpkin Delight (Kimberly)https://www.blogger.com/profile/15754292671421221960noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7071830940339914895.post-24116009687375926622011-09-16T19:34:34.909-07:002011-09-16T19:34:34.909-07:00Congrats!
