Teachers These Days Quotes

“We cannot fix trauma. For a whole culture built upon “fixing” kids and “being the one” for every kid, this isn’t an easy thing to hear. But I’ll repeat: We’re not in the business of fixing kids. To say that we are, implies that they are something to be fixed. That’s just not true. This mindset can lead to savior syndrome,52 which can have you believing you must “save” them all. Instead, I focus on the significant role of teachers in mitigating trauma.”
