Breakthrough

We had a meeting, today, about the new math assessments and benchmarks and what it means for special education.

A lot of issues got discussed which helped us work through some of the real challenges we are facing.

And not only did my principal finally seem to really get it how difficult this work is for the kids and thus for the teachers to get them where they need to be...

But one administrator seemed to inadvertantly acknowledge what I've been suspecting all along.

They are intimidated by my intelligence. And acting like it doesn't matter, which it clearly does to anyone paying attention. And my principal, who is the other smartest person at the table every meeting I've been apart of seemed to understand that better, today.

Chips on shoulders. It's a tedious thing to deal with working with a boss.

But it's more tedious when it gets in the way of the work.

A little ray of hope, today:).

Love,
Ben
