I mentioned a while back that I absolutely love the Humans of New York Facebook/Instagram feed. I’m always curious to know strangers’ stories and this satiates that curiosity.
I’ve had my share of frustrations with the interim principal at Hadley’s school this year. Long story short, the former principal (whom I loved because she knew how to get the job done) stepped on one too many toes and the Governing Council outed her. Now,we’re left with someone who is completely under-qualified and unresponsive to our teacher frustrations and I truly fear for the quality of education we’re receiving with her at the helm.
A group of parents are meeting with her yet again in a couple of weeks as we try to salvage this school year. One thing I’ve learned is there is nothing more important than educators who go above-and-beyond to ensure your child receives the best education possible. I’m grateful to live in an area where quality schools are in abundance because not everyone has the same opportunities.
These are screenshots from Humans of New York. It is so inspiring how a simple picture and a boy’s inspiration has transpired into a movement (with $374,000 donated and counting).
The response to this post was so overwhelming the photographer tracked down the principal.
It didn’t end there.
Here’s to amazing educators who are making a difference in our kids’ lives.
