的角度来看
I was listening to NPR this morning and found myself thinking about just how lucky I am; how lucky we, 韦德娱乐app下载地址社区, 在这一刻.
乍一看，这是个奇怪的想法，我同意. But there were two stories that drove home this feeling and reminded me that perspective is a valued traveling companion.
我一天大部分时间都在担心. I worry about you, my students and my families. 我担心我们的教职员工. I worry about the financial health of my school, of my families, of our country, and of the world. 我忧心忡忡地入睡，忧心忡忡地醒来. (澄清一下, 这对我来说并不是完全不同的事情, 对大多数校长来说也是如此, during times when there is no worldwide pandemic. I think it's the first bullet on the position description for any Head of School: ‘your job is to worry about everything.’)
What I do not spend my time worried about is the food security of my students, 至少绝大多数是这样. The NPR story included an interview with the principal of a Philadelphia school. The reporter asked him how much he was worried about the education his students were missing. (The context: it was just announced that Philadelphia public schools hope to begin distance learning by mid-April.) The principal's response brought into high relief how different our respective worries are in this moment as we both try to lead our institutions. The essence of his response: I don’t have the luxury of worrying about students missing math or English; seventy percent of my students will go hungry if we can’t get them the food they rely on here at school.
的角度来看.
The story that followed was an interview with an emergency room doctor in New York City. Toward the end of the interview, the reporter asked him just how worried is he. 他的回答很有启发性. 急诊室的医生说我们会挺过去的. 最后，我们会挺过去的. 然后他说, what I’m most worried about are the people in developing countries who don’t have access to health care and trained ER doctors and factories like GM that can pivot on a dime and begin making ventilators and masks. What’s going to happen to the people in those countries?
今天早上我站在圈子里的时候, talking with our students and hearing positive reports from their experiences from day one, I found myself reflecting on the experiences of the principal from Philadelphia and the people in still developing countries. I found myself feeling pretty fortunate, pretty lucky.
