Instead of the teacher
The students have left the building. For a moment, enjoy the silence.
In that moment, consider what you will do for yourself. Need inspiration?
Consider Justin Minkel's opinion piece. He ponders the question: "Who are we now, without those children who depended on us all year to
create the conditions they needed to become stronger thinkers and better people?"
