Feast or famine
Push and pull
Right or wrong
Tensions are high
Ideas are stifled
How can we grow?

I’d go with a school siesta!

This poem captures the feelings of angst that pervade schools nowadays. Where is the time to just breathe? Simple but elegant! Thank you 🙂

I feel like you captured some of what I’ve been feeling lately. How do we get to a place where we don’t feel this way? p.s. That’s just what I needed today – a little nap time!
