Teaching Kindness: More Than a Random Act. It's been a long time since I was in elementary school.
But I can remember it like it was yesterday. I wasn't the cutest, skinniest or best-dressed girl. I wasn't even a popular girl, but I had an advantage; I could sing like "nobody's business," and my teachers loved that about me. As a result, I think I was spared the bullying that could've come from classmates due to my lack of the aforementioned qualities. Times were tough in the late '60s. Not true for all girls in my class. I'll never forget one who was not spared the pain, the hurt and the bullying. I did my best to defend her when I could. The Walters & Shieff Show.

Ian Brown - F.E.A.R. We’ve got the FEAR: Fantastic expectations; Amazing revelations. I love this song by Ian Brown.
Play it as you read on…is there a better acrostic song?! It is better sung than written down but here is a sample: For each a road For everyman a religion Forget everything and remember For everything a reason Freeing excellence affects reality Fallen empires are running Fantastic expectations; Amazing revelations Final execution and resurrection Free expression as revolution Finding everything and realizing We’ve got the FEAR This post is meant to be more than an excuse to post one of my favourite songs.
I believe that too much of our discourse in education is characterised by fear, to an extent that holds us back from taking the steps we need to improve our teaching, to improve our schools and to improve the system. Headteachers scared of: results going down, losing their jobs, public humiliation, OfSTED reports, a critical Chair of Governors, pushy parents, newspaper headlines, union action, being unpopular: Failing.
