We have relationships with everyone we meet. It's up to us to strengthen that relationship.

Thank you Mr. Griffin for everything you shared with our class last week. The one thing that really stuck with me was the comment of how you said people are afraid to say something if they see something happening that is morally incorrect because they want to fit in. I plan on always standing out and being different. If I see something happening that I feel is morally incorrect I will say something. If that leads me to be fired, then so be it. The Lord has a plan for me and will take care of me.

Teachers expect trust right away but you have to gain the trust of your students.

We are born with advantages and disadvantages. Educators play a crucial role in leveling the playing field. It is okay to make colleagues uncomfortable in your quest to do better, it is not okay to stand around and watch inequities unfold.

Reach out to students to understand them and build a relationship.

Only a teacher-learner relationship is the weakest kind of relationship

Teachers always expect students to reach out to them but in reality they're waiting for you, an educator, to reach out to them

Give all students an equal opportunity to learn.
