From Spencer's scratchpad

"So, it makes me think of the school year. I'm going to encourage my students to be free and to speak up and to go places emotionally and intellectually that might be uncomfortable. Yet, I also want to create a safe environment with a community who cares about them. Parenting has taught me that these two goals are often in tension with one another, but still worth pursuing. I want my students to feel safe enough to be free and free enough to be safe."

How about this for a school culture goal?
