This is a stop.
But only a brief one.
Long journeys
Pre-school.
Kindergarten.
Elementary school.
Secondary school.
One bachelor’s degree.
Two bachelor’s degrees.
And finally school feels finished.
So we will celebrate as you don the cap and gown,
walk across a stage,
accept the diploma.
We’ll snap the photos and be glad
This is a stop in the educational journey
But soon it will be your own class room,
filled with your students,
and soon you’ll realize,
your education is just beginning.

Yes.
🙂
You are so right!
Thanks, Howard.
Passing on knowledge, and the skills needed to acquire it, are among life’s greatest gifts.
I agree, and they take a life time of professional development to be good at it.
So true. Your students will teach you how to teach.
Yup.
