Believe it or not, another school year has begun. With it comes expectations of honor roll, excelling in sports and activities, and receiving awards and recognition. I’m all for these things.
But this year, I just want my kids to pass.
Pass on the drama.
Pass on talking about other kids.
Pass the ball to the not-so-coordinated kid at recess.
Pass their previous teacher’s room, and take the time to say, “hi.”
Pass on the opportunity to be one of the “cool” kids if it means compromising their values.
