Sometimes I wonder. are these kids really learning anything? Is anything changing? Am I actually making any positive influence? It can sometimes be so hard to see, and discouraging when you can't. But yesterday I suddenly realized something:
I no longer have to separate fights nearly every day, sometimes multiple times a day.
I no longer have a student cry about some irritation or frustration every day of the week.
Complaints about someone stealing one of their items have decreased.
I don't know if anything can be accounted to me or not, but whether or not it can, change does happen. Sometimes it just takes a while for it to appear.
"Be the change you wish to see in the world."
