I’m always looking for stories that include that little word, TRUST. Just call me the “TRUST Lady.” After 60+ years in public education — as a teacher, hearing officer, school attorney, author of eight books and many opinion pieces, including in The Wall Street Journal, Education Week, and Education Next, speaker, reformer, parent, and grandparent, I’ve come to understand that, far too often, TRUST is the missing piece in our schools. And we sure need it as we work towards an excellent education for all students.
