Full-Tilt Parenting: Strategies, Insights, and Connection for Parents Raising Neurodivergent Children · TPP 043: Why Fostering Cultures of Respect in Our Schools is Critical, with Courtney Macavinta · 7 Feb 2017 podcast

of the most punitive, hardest school to teach in, they can decide what their approach is going to be.

you know, for classroom management and for that self-care piece of like I'm gonna maintain my empathy just like I maintain my car.

You know, like it's just this is something that has to happen.

It's a requirement of the job.

Right.

And that no their principal doesn't need to make it a priority or a school wide initiative.

Individual frontline educators can choose to do that.

Or, you know, often the parent is plugged in, but the family, you know, 'cause cause race is a huge part of this, right?

So African American boys and girls are three times more likely to enter the school to prison pipeline over every other population, yet, you know, account for such a small number of the overall US student population in comparison, right, to whites.

Or, like in my culture, you know, I'm Mexican American, you know, Latino families have different reasons that they get

isolated at school, you know, in the sense of maybe they're, you know, they have a language barrier of, you know, communicating with the school or they have fear around authority, which can happen in our culture due to deportation and other issues.

So one of the main things is that

you know, what you're what you're noticing and what you're calling out is who has choice and who doesn't.

So that's an issue, you know.

And and so that's why it's really important for individual educators to take this on.

I mean, and parents of this is a huge thing that I'm grappling with even at my own school that my child's enrolled in.

Is that as a culture, the school and the parents and everybody accepting responsibility for every student in the building?

You know, they're all of our students, and you know, adopting a common value.

That education is the biggest social justice program, you know, program or movement in the United States, period.

And so this is a social justice issue.
