This is a conversation that hits at the heart of our classrooms and our communities. What are we really doing when we punish our kids? For too many students, especially black students, discipline doesn’t just mean a trip to the principal’s office—it can mean lost learning time, lost opportunities, and in some cases, being pushed out of the system altogether. And what about this… when a child acts out, is it defiance…or is it a signal that something deeper is going on?We’re digging into that disconnect—and asking whether the way we’ve been handling behavior is due for a serious rethink.
