Swapping seats today inside the JMA Wireless Dome (formerly the Carrier Dome)...
In 2005 when I was a fan - watching Rutgers play Syracuse back in the Big East days - only in dreams would I be here again, this time covering a game for ESPN on the sidelines.
Surreal! – at Syracuse, NY

I remember talking with my daughter about what would be a good book to write. She said I should title it: “How to Make Kids Smile.”
This was a simple concept, yet very profound - and it took my breath away. When we can help kids smile… we’re doing something right.

Mental health is something everyone has, regardless of age, gender, race, culture, income, or education. Mental health awareness helps all children have opportunities to be successful in school, at home, in the community, and in their adult lives. #ChildrensMentalHealthMatters

Young people can make us feel disrespected, hurt, frustrated, and angry. These are strong feelings. When adults react based on these feelings, it validates the young person’s behavior, and breaks a link in the chain of connection between. adult and young person.
Pause…respond.

I wonder if non-educators know how much time teachers put in on their “own time” …
They “clock out” …
… and then plan lessons
… and grade papers
… and worry about their
strugglers.
Teachers deserve our respect and appreciation.
