I can't...But then...What if...I don't think....This won't....All words used by educators as we try new things. What if we just gave it a shot?
What if, instead of coming up with reasons of how it might fail, get messy, not work - we just tried it?
Then our words would actually speak the truth and not just our assumption.

This is exactly how I feel at this moment. Attempting to do a signficant rewrite to classroom principles including grading is a really daunting task. Rethinking all my procedures is also a big part of my thinking. I definitely think that it's worth the change. But I might have decided to revamp too many aspects of my classroom at once.
I love the simplicity and truth in this post. Had a similar discussion with an educator yesterday.... but I was the 'What if' girl.
My best days are the ones when I can be courageous. It's still more rare than it should be. I still cower under fear far too often. But the beauty is what happens when courage breaks through.
Amazing how so few and simple words can mean so much.
