It is easy to connect with people on Twitter. Many of them people that I have made connections with share a lot of the stuff that I love, and really push my thinking. There is a real power in that.
And then you go back to your school and sometimes you might feel like no one gets you or wants the same things that you want in education or think differently about the notion of “what’s best for kids.”
But are we sometimes the cause for the disconnect?
It is easy to connect with people on Twitter that you don’t talk to and see everyday. The relationships in your school though take a lot more work, as does any relationship that you see people every single day. We have to keep asking questions and engaging in conversations. The worst thing we can do is just say the people we work with don’t get it and give up. If we are not willing to do it, “they” are not the problem.
I saw something once that said the word “love” is not a noun, but a verb. It is an action and it takes work to make happen in our world. It is not just something that exists because we say or hope it does.
