Friday Flush

Do you ever feel like saying this to someone?  I can assure you that we probably all do, but it probably wouldn’t help us out of an argument too much.  I have heard it said once that “one of the hardest thing about working with people is working with people.”  And, then we compound the issue by working with kids too! 

You guys are truly amazing in what you do.  You can focus your energy, time, and attention on what truly matters even with so many people with their hands in the pot.  There are so many people to get along with….so many “to do’s” to get done…..so many systems to remember and timelines to keep.  But, you do it, and you do it well.  In fact, you know how to stay focused on what matters.

 

 

The “main thing” for us is students….We need to focus on their needs…focus on their strengths FIRST and build up their weaknesses.  Focus on what they can do to develop what they can’t.  We can keep choosing the path that leads to more engaged students by staying focused on the task at hand.  We have to be driven people to succeed, and I know that we can do that.  We need to not focus on why others are wrong or why others don’t think like us, and we need to focus on how to make each day better than the one before. 

I hope everyone has a great Friday and enjoys this time of parent conferences….brag on their kids….let them see how much you truly care for their child….that is the main thing.
