Dear Luke's future teachers,
Tonight as I rocked him to sleep, I found myself pondering how I want him seen and guided in the classroom when he is in school. I understand that he is only just shy of 15 months old, but earlier tonight in the car on our way home, I listened to Kim Strobel talk to Hal Brown about labels and how labeling students can be dangerous for children and lead to self-fulfilling prophecies. As I rocked my son, that made me wonder if he would have labels plastered on him. So that's where we will begin:
With hope, JoyAnn This is what I would ask of my children's future teachers. This is what I am going to start to be more intentional with as an educator. This is what I hope you'll take a moment to consider as an educator of children.
