"The tools are there to help dangerously angry men before they act on their rage with AR-15s. What we lack is an effective system for getting individuals who are angry, isolated, and dangerous to those who could help them." https://t.co/W1nIfcK69o

"Compton plaintiffs were the first in the nation to use special education law to argue for accommodations for students whose ability to concentrate and learn is impaired by the stress of repeated violence, abuse and neglect." https://t.co/mskjPGE75W via @edsource

Some kids are a bright spot in their teacher’s day. And some kids need a teacher to be a bright spot in THEIR day.

There has been a lot of discussion about the increase in children's stress level recently. This article tasks about the role parents play- "Instead of thinking of yourself as your child's boss or manager, try consultant" https://t.co/jxRpMWKRkf
