Quotes:
I went into education because I wanted to reform it and change it.
What we should be really looking for is engagement.
Gen Z is the loneliest generation... if you want to conquer loneliness, you just really need one great friend.
Any parent can actually teach.
It’s not about the academic pathway, it’s about who they are, what they care about, and how they fully and authentically express themselves in the world.
You have to trust yourself as a parent.
