Wow! I feel so seen and validated as a primary school teacher! I am feeling reinspired and refueled to continue making a positive difference in the children's worlds that I reach around me at school and home. Sometimes when you're within a big system you forget the choices and impact you have. I wish all educators could listen, and the people at the top making decisions for our children! <3
