Q7 Do you fear being labeled the aquaman of anything? #2PencilChat

GruntledChalkie Oct 10 @ 7:59 PM EDT

If you are wrong apologise and admit it. And tell kids that you value and believe in apologising and admitting you are wrong #2PencilChat

A6: The classroom may be the only safe place some Ss have. If they are not allowed to overcome fears there, then...where? #2pencilchat
