Hi, Stacie. This is an awesome response to this week's reading! You said so many things that I made mention of in my audio podcast. (Were you peaking in when I was recording that...?) lol I like how you refer to the 4 principles' relevancy to the words of Jesus in God's word, the Bible. Wouldn't this world be a better place if we'd just follow through with what His word says? If I'm not mistaken, the Bible is still the number one best seller! The truth of reality, positivity, and humanity are all there.
I appreciate your straightforwardness about how sometimes the "downward spiral" effect can affect your attitude when it comes to teaching. And this is one of the places, unfortunately, where so much negativity resides. Teachers like you and I who care about children and their future is what will keep us focused on conversations of possibility rather than resorting to what's easy.
Your idea to have the phrase "Light a Spark" painted on your classroom wall is a great idea! As a result, I hope the sparks will eventually catch on fire and burn the entire school with a new attitude of positivity, motivation, and conversations for possibilities! That could be the beginning of a great and much needed change...
