Low-income and minority students' lives are too often touched by instability, violence, and other traumas, and without support, students who can't cope are prone to outbursts and behavioral problems. But when those students need help the most, they may find themselves disciplined for their behaviors, rather than embraced by empathetic teachers, counselors, and administrators. Educator Shonda Gray, founder of the Ultimate Purpose School, has used mental health services, personalized therapy, and career and college coaching to help at-risk students overcome traumatic experiences and behavior issues. In an interview with Recess's Monica Gray, Shonda offers her advice on how teachers can support students with emotional difficulties, explains what misconceptions people have about her students, and demonstrates the power support services can have in keeping students' lives on track. Read it all on Recess!
