Now, More Than Ever
Breathe
in hope,
then exhale
your gratitude.
Remember these truths:
students over standards,
patience over procedures,
compassion over compliance,
care over content, and grace over
gimmicks. We must humanize our teaching.

This poem is an etheree. It is also a found poem, comprised of bits of a post I read on the Nextdoor app, and this tweet by Shana V. White:
I love this...it brings tears to my eyes. Yes, humanize education.
