What’s the sound of silence?

Colleagues,

MVP: No silence = no reflection. Be quiet.

Today is election day. For many of us, regardless of our political views, today feels scary and uncertain. Please remember:

• People are our purpose
• Everyone deserves respect
• Seek to understand before asking to be understood

And most of all… Western North Carolina was ravaged by Helene and the rebuilding will take years. There are thousands of people helping each other here – neighbors helping neighbors AND strangers helping strangers. We don’t care about your party affiliation, who you voted for, or what bumper stickers you have on your vehicle. I am not my vote. You are not your vote. And how we treat each other should not be determined by how our political figures treat each other. We are better than that.

I really want to release a podcast that is all silence, to drive home the point. 

No silence = no reflection.

Silence is golden because, like the precious metal, it is so rare!

We all know it is rare, so we all place a high value on it.

Is this morning’s episode of The Assistant Principal Podcast mere silence? You’ll need to listen to find out. Please listen – this is perhaps the most powerful and important episode I have ever done. It is equally valuable for non-educators.

Thanks again to IXL for sponsoring today’s episode.

Cheers!

Frederick
