To all those amazing teachers, this is a letter for you.

It's one which is debated heavily on teaching forums and twitter and is often something of a dividing topic between teachers. I still am not sure entirely WHERE I stand on the whole "display debate" but I would like … Continue reading The great display debate…
Kindness?
Is kindness something we teach? Is it something we hone in our children? Is it something which children have to come to themselves?
