Every time that D lashed out,

86042
1726
ื‘ื›ืœ ืคืขื ืฉื“' ื”ืฉืชื•ืœืœ,
01:27
I kept thinking to myself:

ื—ืฉื‘ืชื™ ืœืขืฆืžื™:

what did I miss during my principal prep coursework?

What am I supposed to do with a kid like D?

101542
1583
ืฉืœ ื›ืœ ืฉืืจ ื”ืชืœืžื™ื“ื™ื?
01:44
And yet after we did everything that we thought we knew,
28

ืื•ืœื ื’ื ืื—ืจื™ ืฉืขืฉื™ื ื• ืืช ื›ืœ ื”ื“ื‘ืจื™ื ืฉื—ืฉื‘ื ื• ืฉืื ื• ื™ื•ื“ืขื™ื,
01:48
such as talking to D
29
108875
1601
ื›ืžื• ืœื“ื‘ืจ ืขื ื“'
01:50
and taking away privileges

ื•ืœืžื ื•ืข ืžืžื ื• ืคืจื™ื‘ื™ืœื’ื™ื•ืช

ื•ืœืฉื•ื—ื— ืขื ื”ื”ื•ืจื™ื ืฉืœื• ื‘ื˜ืœืคื•ืŸ,
01:55
the only real option we had left to do was to kick him out,

ื•ื™ื“ืขืชื™ ืฉื–ื” ืœื ื™ืขื–ื•ืจ ืœื•.
02:03
This scenario is not unique to D.

Students all over the world are struggling with their education.

02:10
And though we didn't come up with a fail-safe solution,
36
130833

ื•ืืฃ ืฉืœื ืžืฆืื ื• ืคืชืจื•ืŸ ืฉืžื‘ื˜ื™ื— ื”ืฆืœื—ื”,
02:14
we did come up with a simple idea:
37
134917
1875
ื—ืฉื‘ื ื• ืขืœ ืจืขื™ื•ืŸ ืคืฉื•ื˜:
02:17
that in order for kids like D to not only survive in school
38
137792

ืขืœ ืžื ืช ืฉื™ืœื“ื™ื ื›ืžื• ื“' ืœื ืจืง ื™ืฉืจื“ื• ื‘ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืกืคืจ,
02:21
but to thrive,
39
141542
1726
ืืœื ื’ื ื™ืฉื’ืฉื’ื•,
02:23
we somehow had to figure out a way
40
143292
2351
ืื ื—ื ื• ืฆืจื™ื›ื™ื ืœื—ืฉื•ื‘ ืขืœ ื“ืจืš
02:25
to not only teach them how to read and write
41
145667
2309
ืœื ืจืง ืœืœืžื“ ืื•ืชื ืœืงืจื•ื ื•ืœื›ืชื•ื‘
02:28
but also how to help them deal with and manage their own emotions.
42

02:33
And in doing that, we were able to move our school
43
153125
2934
ื•ื›ืฉืขืฉื™ื ื• ื–ืืช, ื”ืฆืœื—ื ื• ืœื”ืคื•ืš ืืช ื‘ื™ืช ื”ืกืคืจ ืฉืœื ื•

from one of the lowest-performing schools in the state of Ohio,

02:44
So it might sound obvious, right?
47

ืื– ืื•ืœื™ ื–ื” ื ืฉืžืข ืžื•ื‘ืŸ ืžืืœื™ื•, ื ื›ื•ืŸ?
02:46
Of course teachers should be focused on the emotional well-being of their kids.

02:51
But in reality,
49
171750
1643
ืื‘ืœ ื‘ืžืฆื™ืื•ืช,
02:53
when you're in a classroom full of 30 students

ื•ืื—ื“ ืžื”ื ื–ื•ืจืง ืขืœื™ืš ืฉื•ืœื—ื ื•ืช,
02:58
it's far easier to exclude that child

ื”ืจื‘ื” ื™ื•ืชืจ ืงืœ ืœืกืœืง ืืช ื”ื™ืœื“ ื”ื–ื”

ืื‘ืœ ืžื” ืฉืœืžื“ื ื• ื‘ืงืฉืจ ืœื“',

ื•ื‘ื ื•ื’ืข ืœื™ืœื“ื™ื ื›ืžื• ื“',

In education, we tend to always look outside the box for answers,
