Moving Right Along
It’s Time to Focus on What’s Really Important
I remember when I was working in public schools, and we’d get either a new principal or superintendent, and people would frantically try to find out more about the newcomer. Dire predictions were always made, and a whole lot of people freaked out at the idea of upcoming changes based on rumors and fears, most of which never came to pass. Want to know what did happen? Whatever the circumstances, we survived, sometimes more pleasantly and easily than at other times, and when all was said and done, we were left standing, for the most part.
Know what this reminds me of? The current elections!
I bet most of you are as sick of the election stuff as I am, and you’re ready for it to be over with and finished, so we can deal with whatever the fallout is, and move on. We may differ in the outcomes we’re hoping for, but we’re all tired of the stress, the propaganda, and the foreboding, am I right? Just as I and the teachers I worked with survived new school or district leadership, we’ll survive new presidential leadership, too, regardless of who wins. Will some of us suffer or profit more than others? Yep, more than likely, but a lot of the aftermath will depend on us.
Hopefully, none of us will participate in any violence that might break out. Violence is never worth it…
