Jun 30, 2025π¨ Real talk about trust in schools (and business):
Trust isn’t the absence of control.
It’s the confidence to let go — without letting down.
But most schools? Total control-freak mode.
Rules. Rubrics. Rigid schedules.
Why? Because it feels safe.
But guess what? Control without trust = slow death.
You strangle the motivation right out of your learners.
Want to build real motivation?
Design systems that assume students will rise.
And still catch them when they don’t.
That’s how Self-Determination Theory stops being theory — and starts being your operating system.
πWhere in your school are you still gripping the reins too tightly?
Be honest. That’s where the growth is.
