As teachers start the school year, I want to just share this reminder that popped up in my feed. Restoration Threads (a now closed nonprofit—visit their still open instagram) serviced foster kids. This post was very much an excellent eye opening moment for teachers to remember that not all kids are in a happy place, and that they don’t need to be reminded of what privileges they don’t have.

I hope we all enter into the school year with equity and inclusion as our goal, right alongside academic excellence and mastery.
