Chapter 9 :-)
A mantra that caught my attention in The Big Picture is that if there is a problem then go after it. It’s something to say every day at the schools because Littky discusses the fact that perseverance makes schools strong and different. Often, I hear teachers complain about problems that arise, but they forget that we have a job to do, and it’s to help the kids. Littky states that the problems can be a hard job to tackle. Also, to keep in mind to face them with excitement because the changes might be the ones we wish to see in the world. I read six of the “enemies of change,” and the one that I connected mostly with are “caring” and “collaboration” because they seem to be the ones that are reachable or doable at my school. I do have to agree with Littky, that education is everyone’s business.
