  • -8] Strict teaching closes gaps & has life long impacts.
    Sep 20 2024
    Objective: We CAN & WILL practice a GenAlpha teaching style that will bring delightful peace. Biblical Base: Proverbs 19:18 / 29:17 Word of the Week: Warm Strict As a black educator, this episode showed me the necessity to not only be the cool teacher, but to not slack on the technicals that may make me seem like an "op". As a husband/father, this episode gave me confidence to have more of a direct handle of my child's upbringing instead of leaving everything to mama to take care of. I may work, but my 1st & 2nd work is my wife and children. As a christian/believer, this episode gave me hope I had lost that I was disciplining for a reason. As long as I'm trying my best to train with love, it will prevent my children from death.
