7. The In Lak’ech, it’s just an excerpt from the poem,
and, um, it’s a Mayan philosophy…it’s kind of like
our bell work—have the kids, y’know, get ready to
go.They do the recite the poem piece […] and
then they get to work. […]
For me, I want our students, for their own growth,
it’s for them. So it, this space:This is In Lak’ech.
[…] [T]his is the expectation. So I don’t have
anywhere, like, “These are the Rules, and this is
how you’re going to behave in here.”

Tú Eres Mi OtroYo” (173)

respeto yo;/ si te hago daño a ti, me hago daño
a mí.” (174)
…
“IN LAK’ECH:Tú eres mi otro yo (191)

me respeto yo, y si te hago daño me hago daño
yo, a la altura de amaos los unos a los otros.

you, I harm me, to the height of loving one
another (my translation)]

[You are me and I am you, if I respect you I
respect me, if I do something bad to you, I do
something bad to myself.All that is done has
repercussions on me, yes […] (my translation)]

11. Tú eres mi otro yo/You are my other me.
Si te hago daño a ti/ If I do harm to you,
Me hago daño a mi/ I do harm to myself.
