In education related contexts I hear lots of blame shifting: "Well it' s the parents' fault".
I try to find positive ways to remind educators that blame or 'fault' is irrelevant. at this point.
Our unique Mission in public education is so different than charters and private schools. Our mission is to accept, teach and learn with ALL who come thru our doors.
No matter who's at "fault", the children are coming thru our doors in the morning. They are all part of our core Mission. We need training, we need strategies, resources, and support (on-going). Then we need to all work together if we are to have safe schools for all. All our other skills and training are secondary and at points useless, if we don't build safe, trauma-infomed schools First.
