“It’s so much darker when a light goes out than it would have been if it had never shone.”
–John Steinbeck, The Winter of Our Discontent
We need to remember and help each other remember what it was like when the light shone, when we had heroes with us, when we had exciting learning in our classrooms, when we worked together to do more than we could have alone.
Don’t forget what it was like before the darkness.
