Nothing really changes until people begin to tell their stories.
One way we tend to get a handle on difficult issues that inspire passion on all sides is to tell stories about how we as students and teachers and parents have handled situations in the past and what we learned from those cases. Please be aware of the public nature of this venue, though, and take care not to post confidential information or anything that might cause embarrassment or risk to yourself or others.
