Hurt people hurt people, as the saying goes. The great thing about kids is that, when you do better as an adult, they can be very forgiving. I’ve always found that one of the most powerful things I can do as an educator is apologize to kids when I’ve gotten it wrong. Sounds like you did everything right.
I’m sorry to hear about your challenging week. It’s never a dull moment while teaching, and sometimes we all make mistakes. That what makes us human. It sounds like you were able to have some good conversations with your challenging students. I hope this upcoming week is better.
I hope you realise what a kind and impactful comment this is ❤️ thank you so much, you’ve really lifted me. Children are very resilient - today will, I’m sure, be a new day.

Absolutely - as soon as I realised what I’d missed, I apologised and that’s when Pip softened and all the tension seemed to pour away.

🤞 I hope so too Adrian! I’m sure it will be - most of what went wrong last week were one-offs
You don't need luck, you are on top of things.
Thanks Douglas, I really appreciate that
