QuotablesThe more I passed the baton to my kids, the better they did in the classroomTeachers just assume if their class is engaging that their kids are empowered to take ownership in their learning but that couldn’t be further from the truthWe as educators have to be intentional about what we are doing and whyIt takes a lot of energy and a lot of effort to build a class where the goal is for students to run itThere’s no reason for you to do something for kids that they can do for themselves
