Again thank you for your wise insight and have a great day!

It’s better in context, but that quote resonates with me right now. I never have cash in my wallet when I want to give it to someone. I almost never have cash in my wallet, period. And I rack my brain trying to think of something valuable that I might have on my person to give and all I have are pens or a gift card with only $2 left on it and I don’t want to insult anyone by presuming...

tthisisthefourth asked: Is putting people who are trained for just 5 weeks really a good idea, especially in high-needs schools? I mean, as a person who has a real passion for education and teaching and is taking the long way and most effective way to be a teacher, rigorous research proves it requires 5 years of experience for a teacher to be really prepared for such a complex classroom that TFA members keep going...
