Dear Teachers,

Dear Teachers,

You have earned the right to lead your classroom.

Your name is on the door.

You have been given the awesome responsibility of educating dozens of students, if not more!

You are responsible for the safety, behavior, and academic performance of each student within your classroom…

…But please know this

Your students don’t need to be saved.

Whether your school is in the suburbs of West Little Rock,

Or within the inner-city streets of Hanger Hill, John Barrow, or South End.

Please know…

Your students don’t need to be saved.

However,

Your students do need to be Challenged.

Your students do need to be Empowered.

Your students do need to be Educated.

But they do not need to be Saved.
