Teacher burnout is real! We know the end of the year is almost here, and for many teachers, it's been a long and difficult one. Offering hope, recognising the need for flexible opportunities for continued learning, and appreciating the unique strengths each teacher brings to the classroom are just some aspects which are vital to improve teacher morale. Hang in there, teachers! We salute you. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/what-teacher-burnout-crisis-leaf-academy-usa-efzkc/?trackingId=7Xg%2BUnwCTcGbcWb3OMXd5A%3D%3D

We all have that one song, or may be that collection of songs, which transport us back in time and carry so much meaning, speaking to our souls. Well, science now confirms that music is not just for entertaining us. "Music is an archive of our most meaningful memories and, ultimately, a foundation for our sense of self because it tells the story of who we are, who we were, and how we’ve grown." We love this!

Having ADHD is like having a secret superpower, if you control the difficult parts of the disorder. People with ADHD often think-out-of-the box, making them brilliant problem-solvers, and they are often the most loyal friends.
