🚨 Something unexpected happens at school
Jun 24, 2025
a student fight, a phone recording of a teacher, a rule pushed too far —
and our first instinct?
Prevent it from happening again.
And the go-to diagnosis?
“The students need more clarity.”
But clarity about what?
📌 What exactly is expected of them?
📌 Which new rules we have to add this week?
📌 What their role is — and what it isn’t?
Or is it something else entirely?
Because when things feel unclear, schools often panic.
We reflect — and then we regulate.
More rules. Sharper job descriptions. Tighter definitions.
But here’s the truth:
People don’t read rules each morning to decide how to behave.
We’re not machines. We’re human.
And humans don’t run on regulation — we run on relationship.
Real clarity doesn’t come from paper.
It comes from culture.
🟡 A shared sense of “what feels right here”
🟡 A space where people give each other room
🟡 And the courage to speak up when that space gets misused
It’s not about compliance.
It’s about compassion.
Not about fear of consequences —
but care for one another.
💬 What would it look like if your team moved from rule-based clarity to relationship-based clarity?
