- In years past, I had students who were very distraught
and couldn't find a way out.
And I would just listen to them and talk to them.
- We're in a time of change, where back in the day,
discipline was handled very differently in schools,
and now, teachers are assaulted, and there is no recourse.
- We still have some students that struggle with hunger,
and so I just make sure that there's some food
in the classroom for people that might be hungry.
- How can we ask a kid to do their homework
when they're a sophomore
and they have four younger siblings
they're taking care of every night?
