We start out with the best intentions, but …
The problem isn’t that we make promises, it’s that once we make a promise, we don’t take the next step and create a plan for how we are going to keep it. If, while developing our school vision statements, we also made eliminating achievement gaps a priority, we could really honor diversity. If that principal had gone beyond tweaking the schedule and put a team together to help that mother understand all of her daughter’s needs and options, he might have been able to shake her daughter’s hand at graduation — at his school or another one more suited to her needs.
We don’t set out to break our word. In fact, we make promises with the best of intentions. But, good intentions are not enough. Meaning well and then undermining our word by our actions destroys trust when we mean to build it. It’s better not to make a promise at all than to break one. Before we give our students and their families, or our staff our word, we better make sure we can deliver.
