"Teaching with tenderness, it turns out, involves a promise we make to each other, and a way of living, requiring consistent and radical acts of self-care."

I've read through this twice, and for my educator friends I cannot recommend this enough. Thompson frames the work of education and classrooms as holding sacred places in pedagogies of tenderness, or those places where pain and joy meet. Truly, if you're an educator or work with students, this book is for you!
