  • Summary

  • The author argues that many teachers focus on surface-level strategies, like behavior rules, rather than addressing the underlying root causes of classroom problems. The text uses analogies, like weeding a garden, to demonstrate how focusing on symptoms without addressing the source leads to recurring issues. The author encourages teachers to shift from a rule-based approach to one centered on relationships, expectations, and a growth mindset. The analogy of a swimmer versus a lifeguard highlights the importance of stepping back from the day-to-day grind to gain a broader perspective and develop proactive strategies. The text concludes by advocating for a constant pursuit of improvement, emphasizing that even the best teachers can find room for growth and that the true measure of success lies in the journey, not just the outcome.
