It's about a school that's taking a different tack when it comes to discipline.
Years ago I knew a young woman who worked with kids who were in trouble.
When school administrators or program facilitators warned her about the attitudes of the kids, she nodded and smiled, duly warned.
After spending some time with the kids, she would frown and ask, 'Are these the same kids they were telling me about? Because I'm not seeing what they're seeing.'
Said administrators and facilitators ended up shaking their heads, puzzled.
'How do you do that? How do you get him/her to listen to you?'
'I listen first.'
'How do you get them to talk to you?'
'I listen.'
