There are some aspects of school life that create great emotion, and fortunately those events typically differ from teacher to teacher which makes it easier to help each other during the emotionally-charged times. It's interesting to look deeply at why some events create great emotion, and other events don't. And then it's important to find ways to reckon with the strong reactions events may create. Schools are truly "little cities" with multiple events occurring all the time, and as we consider this, we have to consider well the ways we navigate those "city streets and alleys."
