I wish I could spend more time reflecting on education, but Covid takes up much of our energy and discussion. We would prefer that school focus on: joy in learning, citizenship, and critical thinking. These are the three core pillars of school. Teachers take students from "I can't" and "I don't like" to "Wow! I can" and "Wow! This is so cool!" I spent time in the library yesterday and I was reminded of these three pillars. Students were collaborating on projects, reading interesting books, laughing with their friends, having deep conversations and maybe, let’s be honest, procrastinating a little. I saw joy in learning. I saw total fidelity to wearing masks, and I could still discern the smiles. Best of all I saw teachers and students engaged in one-on-one and group problem solving conversations. This is worth fighting for.
