I get so much joy out of out working those that need a pat on the back for doing the bare minimum requirements of their job. Their weakness keeps the fire blazing. 🔥

You know who loves discipline in schools? The large majority of kids who aren’t misbehaving and just want to be able to focus

Show up to conferences, respond to emails, read to your kids, teach them manners, hold them accountable. Sure a free lunch and a cute note are appreciated, but take an interest in your child’s learning. #TeacherAppreciationWeek

I refuse to “fit in” I’m not breaking my beliefs or values so that you feel comfortable. The need to feel comfortable and to not offend, is the reason things are the way they are.

If you're not in the trenches with me, don't tell me how to do my job. #observation

If you’re using phrases like “I’ve paid my dues” “This is how we did it 20 years ago” “I’ve put in my time” “That’s not in my job description” Just stop. You have voiced your work ethic loud and clear. And we stopped listening to you.

Continually put your self in hard/tough situations. Your resilience will come. The real trick is to do that every day and don’t look back.

Family, neighbors and community. #betheexample

Talking to my kids about how life can be unfair and that there are shitty people in this world always worries me. The discussion went well and it blows my mind how resilient they are.

I take great pride in myself, my family and the community I live in. I couldn’t imagine looting and destroying it.

Father's Day felt like any other day to me. And that is a good thing. #richwithlove

The secret to being in the right place at the right time is being the last man there after everyone else gave up.

What do students actually learn in "credit recovery" classes? #edchat

The amount of able bodied people I've seen take the elevator instead of walk up 20 stairs is mind blowing.

Tracking your progress daily is so important for future success. You either did the work or you didn't. #stackingWs

Don’t lower the bar for your loved ones. It puts their future at risk, as well as yours. #livethestandard

It's okay to ask questions. It's okay to want clarification. Following blindly without knowing the purpose will get you nowhere. #trustyourgut

Today is no different. Outwork everyone.

Ask->Listen->Hear #lead

Shit doesn’t get any easier, you just get better.
