That’s such a beautiful essay, moral in the best sense and utterly relatable. My day is much richer for having read it.

Thank you for this essay! I know it’s just a small part of the larger story, but I do want to point you and your readers to the coalition of people working to end restraint and seclusion in schools. One organization, Lives in the Balance, just reported yesterday on the successful passage of legislation in California as a step toward this goal.
