In my last column, I’d like to reflect on the year and think about what’s next. As the school year draws to a close, it’s worth remembering a parable by Italian political theorist Antonio Gramsci. Gramsci pointed out that everyone wants to make history in an instant, to be the “ploughman of history,” but first […]
