(And unfortunately, we really do need to be tough.) I tell my students sometimes - it’s always okay to cry, but never cry until the battle is over.

And I do, every chance I get. Though I dont follow people in that line of work so .. Personally I think we need more effort getting all genders in the current school generation to be less old school in their thinking.

Yeah, only one child, all there will ever be for us. She is my focus.
