As educators, our complete focus must remain on helping students achieve, enabling them to thrive, even when they are not supposed to. Despite the many disruptions to this aim, from polarizing politics to toxic poisons of social media gaslighting to even the day-to-day grind that wears down educators, we need to nurture the kind of creative flow that fosters environments in which children shine.
Putting aside the external challenges, consider a recent study that shows two full work days a week are lost to email. A productivity level that drops 40% does not help children.
