So the same thing that's happening with a child.
So we also study the intersection of trauma and all this.
So
Low income schools are high of trauma.
One form of trauma is toxic stress from you know poverty.
And what happens is you you just start to live from your, you know, your hippocampus, your what I call when I tell the kids about it, you know, your dinosaur brain.
you get triggered into fight or flight all day long.
And when you're in fight or flight all day long, what it looks like to adults is, you know, you have bad behavior.
And that is not what's going on.
And you're not trying to be disrespectful to adults.
And, you know, so one of the things we work on is helping adults also identify just the same way we unpack what is respect really, is what is disrespect really?
You know, is it disrespect or is it trauma?
Is it someone's tired?
Is it your relationship needs a tune up?
You know, is it you're not being empathetic and you're seeing everything as a disrespectful affront to you, the adult?
Or, you know, yes, maybe one out of ten kids really is trying to be disrespectful and push your buttons.
The last thing I'll just say is on that empathy piece.
So we talked about, you know, the getting sent to the office can kind of start the school to prison pipeline cycle.
What we work with schools on is okay, then what happens when they go to the office?
Because sometimes teachers need to be able to use that tool to continue learning for everybody else.
