Every KID & PARENT needs a champion

•https://www.ted.com/talks/rita_pierson_every_kid_needs_a_champion

“Parents make decisions for their children based on what they know, what they feel will make them safe. And it is not our place [as educators] to say what they do is 'wrong.' It's our place to say maybe we can add a set of rules that they don't know about.” — Rita Pierson
