I don’t think anyone knows the meaning of the phrase “Only so many minutes in a day!” better than someone in education. There is always something waiting for us. Meetings. Papers. Calls to make. Email to answer. Things to file. Things to look up. Lessons to plan. Committees. Grad classes. Tech tools to figure out. Family. Commitments. PD. There may be days when we are stretched to the limit, feeling more like some human version of Stretch Armstrong with our arms pulled in different directions, about to break off. But, at the end of the day, it’s true. The things that matter? We make time for them. Those people that say, ”Oh, I don’t have time for that…” Is this an insinuation that some of us just have more time than others? Time is not something we just ‘have,’ it’s something we make. It’s something we make when things matter to us. Children matter to us. Remember….what you do each and everyday at Kennedy School is in the best interest of the children we serve.
