Open to Critique

I'm open to critique as I know that openness leads to betterment.

Yet, there are times when the critique quotient is steep.

That's when you have to remind yourself that you're not superhuman, and the best you can do is listen and do what you can.

I know from the past that the critique pace will subside in the days ahead as it tends to rise at this time of year for a number of factors that impact schools and learning in the mid winter months.

The challenging pattern of effort and standards now is sometimes not as engaging as the project work that will come later.

Learning has its ebbs and flows throughout the year, and the key is to keep directed towards best possible effort, contribution, and service. Onward.
