2:20:43 From Georgie Koenig to Everyone : A message I need to hear. Great definition.12:23:19 From Angela L. Bray to Everyone : so true12:23:34 From Martha D. Elford to Everyone : The workism concept may be created by the idea that teaching is an occupation that is also a vocation. It becomes hard to separate the two.12:24:00 From Erika Van Order to Everyone : True Martha12:24:01 From Helen Barrier (she/her) to Everyone : Reflection is so powerful, but at the same time, disturbing at times.12:24:14 From Rosanne Arvin to Everyone : I am the example of Workism. It was how my life was before retirement b/c everything was work and who I was everyday.12:24:15 From Barbara Millikan to Everyone : Context is often forgotten, and I think it’s so important.12:24:19 From Bonnie Palasak to Everyone : I feel we need to relearn as a society how to communicate respectfully with others, especially when we differ in opinion. I actually think we need to explicitly teach this in schools.12:24:29 From Martha D. Elford to Everyone : Operating differently than the current conditions/contexts is exhausting.12:24:47 From Cindy Medici to Everyone : I was hoping that covid would move us more to we, and I think it did for a while. It appears that we are now more polarized than ever.12:25:01 From Martha D. Elford to Everyone : Well spoken, Cindy.12:25:20 From Kimberlee Oakes to Everyone : I agree with Cindy…. People are more in their silos than ever before…12:26:38 From Joyce Agness to Everyone : Looking back over 40 years in education it now feels like we are starting over which can be good but we aren't really doing anything different to not make the same mistakes.12:27:52 From Barbara Millikan to Everyone : Sometime people don’t know what their voice is and need to find it.12:27:56 From Cindy Medici to Everyone : I agree that making a difference drives most humans12:28:08 From Joan M Miller to Everyone : I think he nailed the nature of "adult" vs :adolescent."12:28:12 From Rosemary to Everyone : We need to take a step out of the daily routines to appreciate and celebrate our relationships.12:28:25 From Bonnie to Everyone : We do need to find our WHY and our purpose.12:28:33 From Kimberlee Oakes to Everyone : Reflection takes time.. and it’s important to schedule it. It should be a priority if we truly want to improve.12:29:00 From christine.bouck to Everyone : I appreciate the reflective piece. I used to write a lot. I just don't have time for it any more. Or more correctly, I don't MAKE time for it any more.12:29:19 From Joyce Agness to Everyone : time is the critical component12:29:41 From Kimberlee Oakes to Everyone : Christine - me, too! I promised myself I’d get back to it… but I haven't.....12:29:55 From Angela L. Bray to Everyone : We make time for what is important to us. I have certainly learned this over time.12:30:27 From Christy Rhodes to Everyone : I think the pandemic has forced us all to reflect on what we prioritize and use our time12:30:38 From Sue Meyer to Everyone : agree12:30:55 From Martha D. Elford to Everyone : Time is our most valuable nonrenewable resource.12:31:59 From Joyce Agness to Everyone : Retirement gives you time to reflect back on your purpose in education but now reflect on how can I still make a difference?12:32:42 From christine.bouck to Everyone : Thank you Barb. I think a lot of us in education get so wrapped up in our role that it's hard to separate.
