Brave Teachers

This is Ms. Jane, a founding teacher at the Shambhala School in Halifax, Nova Scotia. Jane is an amazing teacher whose care for young people is almost legendary. Adolescent complacency has no chance against her caustic compassion. I love this picture, which captures Jane’s feminism, her humour, her commanding presence, and her love of cooking with students.
