sidenote after reading Paula's blog-
Others are feeling disconnected, too. It is a new school year. Our lives change from summer learning to fall teaching... BUT... what about our students? How much does their lives change? Are our kids getting up and going to school to learn today? Are they excited and engaged? How does their classroom(s) compare to the other components of their lives? Is school helping them learn about today's world and how to contribute, problem-solve, create and love? Or is it giving them practice adapting to a not so stimulating environment, a sterile classroom? Are they rushing out of the door to learn?... or are they running happily into school to learn about themselves, their friends, their world? Are they feeling disconnected to the world from 8-3 or do they feel connected. As a coach might say... "I wonder"
