“We can surely no longer pretend that our children are growing up into a peaceful, secure, & civilized world… it’s irresponsible to try to protect them from the irrational world… Our responsibility … is not to pretend that if we don’t look, evil will go away, but to give them weapons against it.”

I feel this in my bones. I missed wishing a friend a Happy Birthday this weekend because I forgot what the date was (that day, not her bday!). 🫣 So much summer reading and learning - so little time! 🤓❤️📚 #EDUSky
