The problem is beyond education and it's time to wake up.

The problem is beyond education and it's time to wake up.
Spent Labor Day clearing years of papers, plans, notes, and drafts. Two full bins. I cried. Not out of regret, but from the weight of the effort behind it all. Work matters. So does rest. Let’s honor both. #LaborDay #Reflection #EducatorLife

The Pause Between Action and Reaction
So often, we move quickly, responding to emails, solving problems, answering questions, and keeping up with the day-to-day.
But in mindfulness, there’s a sacred space: the pause.
That tiny moment between what happens and how we respond.

Most of the world uses metric. It's logical, global, and easier to teach, so why is the U.S. still clinging to miles, inches, and Fahrenheit? For our students and our future, it’s time to align with the world.

PD opened with rock-paper-scissors. Fun, but for adult learners, every activity should connect to a purpose. If it models something useful, great. If not, it feels like filler. Our time matters too.

One Small Shift
Change doesn’t always start with a big leap.
Sometimes it’s a single choice, repeated each day.
Drinking water before coffee.
Take three deep breaths before replying.
Starting a meeting with gratitude.

This week, I’ve been thinking about how we hold onto things long after they’ve stopped being useful. And how powerful it is to pause… breathe… and say:
“This doesn’t belong to me anymore.”
Whether it’s fear, burnout, or self-doubt
You’re not alone.
What are you releasing this season?
“This doesn’t belong to me anymore.”
Whether it’s fear, burnout, or self-doubt

Sometimes the biggest shift in our lives begins with a quiet decision:
To release what no longer serves us.
A belief.
A boundary we’ve ignored.
A fear that has shaped too many of our choices.

District leaders: Are we designing policies to restrict tools or to reimagine learning?
If students are thinking with AI, our instruction must evolve with them. This isn’t about catching “cheating”; it’s about creating work that AI can’t do for them but can help them think with.

Policing AI use misses the point that students are already thinking in new dimensions.
