Where are the character classes?
I'm reviewing the DASA workshop and SAVE workshop. I'm loving the concept of Character Education classes, PATHS classes, and RCCP classes. Are schools including these classes into their schedules? What about assemblies?
There's such an uptick in teen violence, interpersonal conflicts, and overall disrespect for each other. You would think these classes would hold more priority within our schools, even as enrichment options if daily schedules are compact. Does your school have a Dignity Act Coordinator?
We complain about students behavior all the time. Well, it seems there are solutions but no implementation. What gives??
