   If teachers and staff at a school have too many students and classes there isn’t time for such meetings or work. This is just one of the stark differences well-funded and underfunded schools. But when the underfunded schools have poorer academic outcomes & more discipline problems the students and parents are blamed “you just can’t teach those kinds of kids”

   I assure you I could and I have. And it’s possible to burn your self up doing so making more time than properly exists in a day to do it.

     One of the biggest differences between a school with sufficient staff and those without is the time and focus I am able to devote to each student. I have enough time to have meetings where all of the teachers of each student are present and we can discuss not just the disruptive or exceptional students but all students of them. We can puzzle together if a student is becoming depressed or socially isolated. We can find ways to help students to connect to the material they study. 1/
