I heard someone say that “it’s hard to hate up close,” and I liked that a lot. I do believe that conversation and learning is the key to understanding. My wish is that when a new social issue divides us, that people would take the time to learn more even if it makes them uncomfortable.

As a former 4th grade teacher (28 years ago), it’s my biggest regret that I subscribed to the common practice of withholding recess as a form of punishment. The research is so clear on this. Recess is critical. Children who “misbehave” are not bad. They are dysregulated. It’s far more logical to let them run and exercise than to punish them with stillness.
