I’m asked all the time—what is the one thing education really needs in today’s world? I have pondered this question for a long time. I do know the answer. The one thing school needs, is God. We need God. It’s that simple.
Some of you will say amen to this, while others will want to jump into how education and religion are separate. Yes, i am well aware and i follow the rules. But behind closed doors, i pray. I pray for each of my students. And i pray for me to understand each student and that I will have the right toolkit to help them academically as well as emotionally. 🤍
