Got the worst news I’ve ever gotten last week. My mom and I made each other cry laughing all the time. I hate to think about all the deals she’s going to miss out on. I hope she guides me to the best sales forever.

Otherful Principle #18:
Great leaders expect confusion.
Avoid being irritated by this.
It will only distract you & lower morale.
People hear things differently.
Decriminalize miscommunication
at your school.
Embrace the misfires, the blips.
Own your own slipups.
Make it safe.

Otherful principle #12:
Forgive people when they mess up at school.
No, don't be a push over
or "be ok" with bad behavior
or anything that hurts kids
or threatens your credentials.
But recognize that forgiveness
promotes system resilience &
a positive culture of risk taking.

One school leader says:
do what I want you to do.
I’ll be watching to hold you accountable.
Another says:
do what you think is right. If you
screw up, we’ll all learn. I trust you.
Which gets better results? – at Glen Head, NY

Hey admin who need to hear this:
don’t let the system
get you down
trust yourself
you’re not just a compliance officer
you’re also
a leader of
beautiful humans
who
need you to see them
for who they are
make room
provide shelter
forgive
care
and you will change
the world

1.) School… feels pointless

I quit my teaching job and now make more bartending for 15 less hours week. Also I get blamed for way way less and get told thank you way way more. No lesson plans or grading papers.
Remember this when people ask about the teacher shortage. – at Candler-McAfee, GA
