A few weeks ago, I was reminded of one of the first (and possibly most important) lessons I learned working in a school, that sometimes there is no ‘why.’ If you follow me on Twitter (@robinreads) this story might seem familiar to you. During a sixth grade class circulation, I sat down at a table […]
