The Weight

Today was very reminiscent of last year for me. I had forgotten those days last year where almost the entire day was focused on investigation and discipline. It goes to show that we have much to be proud of in terms of how far we've come with our discipline. That said, the weight of it all sometimes gets me.

When I hear and see how the weight of so much is put on students, I get discouraged. The students that are fighting forces beyond their control is astounding in number. Thrust in impossible situations, who can they turn to?

I have the great pleasure of working with the Sunnyside PD and have to say their commitment to helping students and going the extra mile is so appreciated. Too many times these people are not recognized for such contributions. They are the quiet heroes around us.
