And then you start to show them other examples of teachers like the Algebra II teacher or others
where the kids are calm, they're thoughtful, and they're assured, and they act professional.
They are advising a family on their financial planning.
And the demeanor they bring to their math, all of a sudden the teachers perk up and say, oh.
I guess I knew that, of course.
I've always wanted to do that, but I didn't know how.
I knew I was noticing disengagement in my kids, but I thought that the opposite of disengagement was entertainment and everybody putting their hand up and saying, oh, call on me.
This is fun.
I love school, which is great.
That's not terrible, but it's not enough.
Deep engagement, it looks calm.
It looks thoughtful.
It looks agentic.

They're a red herring.
