“Kindness is a language which the deaf can hear and the blind can see.” – Mark Twain.


Sarcasm is also a language, one that children often misunderstand. What feels clever or lighthearted to us as adults can land as confusing, hurtful, or belittling to students.


As educators, our words matter. When we choose kindness as our universal classroom language, we teach more than content; we model respect, empathy, and trust. Those are lessons that echo far beyond the classroom walls.


Today’s reminder: Kindness communicates clearly. Sarcasm distorts. Choose the language that your students can always understand.
