Maintaining Sanity in The Classroom

“We as educators need to have faith that our students can handle responsibility and solve problems in the classroom. My experience is that working in a partnership with students is the only real answer to finding long term, realistic solutions to the chronic behavioral problems in our schools today.”

– Stan Shapiro
