I’ve been teaching internationally since 2014 and one thing is certain; the educational system is overwhelmed. The “best” students are often blessed with a unique combination of superior direction-following skills and a high tolerance for boredom. The real world beaters... 🧵

Almost 50% of these high school kids work full-time to support themselves, their families and/or their siblings. Your world and their world are not the same. Good JAG programs are worth their weight in gold.
If 25 people donated $1,000 each, that means 25 kids can go to the JAG National Career Development Convention in Orlando, Florida! 90% of THEM have never been on a plane and 60% have never left the state of Louisiana! Will you agree to sponsor a child? #barbejagtakesFLIGHT

Bad mood? Ask yourself why. Chances are you aren’t setting or holding an appropriate boundary.
The ability to pause and reflect separates us from the rest of the animal kingdom. Slow down.

I don't think most adults understand that the majority of academic efforts in K-12 schools are still geared toward creating a 5-paragraph essay as THE demonstration of learning.
