Tika tēnā, Bevan. This is the constant subtext to everything we do now. How can we rise above fear and anger and selfishness ...and make some kind of difference?
Sadly, this is very well written, and extremely perceptive.
There is a systemic issue with how we organise schools that creates further harm. I think you’ve said this before, but time to breathe and just be - at school is so important now. There is a path of healing and enrichment for everyone in education. We have to trust and believe in every individual, But while we are stuck in the stupidity of attempting to speed up students and get them to produce data to show they are improving , so adults feel better , quickly! We are racing at top speed away from the catastrophe.
We must all walk towards each other and attempt to ‘see’ each other, and in the process we may be walking towards a better version of ourselves.
