the best advice I ever got as a pre-service teacher.

Was that the kids will not care about what you teach them.

Until they know that you care about them.

Think about it.! You wouldn't want to listen to somebody who you think doesn't like you, right?.

No lasting change can happen, no lasting and impactful learning,.

Until that relationship is built.
