If students fight, they first work it out through group discussion. Kids who act up or shut down get extra support, not detention or suspension like they used to. The idea is to tend to life troubles at school, instead of sending kids home. ow.ly/WdT450xmOs4

"For kids with #anxiety, the 'can'ts fluctuate,” says @jessica_minahan , "When they're calm they can. When they're anxious they can't. And that's very deceiving." @Kschwart ow.ly/ZR6C50vDY7B #edchat #teaching #parenting
