    Most teachers are adept at seeing the big picture. Caught up in the hectic pace of modern life, we feel compelled to immediately distinguish what is important from what is not. The assessment is an easy one to make when we are mired in the daily grind of our classrooms. and school life or in our home environment if you are a homeschooling parent -- everything relating to student success seems significant and everything else seems comparatively trivial. But what is most precious in our classrooms or homeschooling environment cannot be measured in affluence or influence.

    I believe that we are all educators. We are all students. Whether we term ourselves mentors, learners, parents, or teachers, the world is on offer on every level of human understanding, place and time. We are living in a time of unprecedented change and if we do not want to be swept off our feet or simply led by algorithms, we need to find our stillpoint of quiet certainty in which to breathe and live and create and educate our children into an emerging future which still holds core human values at the centre of our purpose and directives.
