“Stop trying to take on this child’s emotions because you feel like a failure because your class isn’t working the way you want it to work. This child’s behavior, it’s not about you; you didn’t create that child. You didn’t raise that child. This isn’t about you. This is about that child’s lived experiences. The more that you continue to own that child’s emotions, the more you’re going to want to continue to quit your job.” – Sean Perry [18:07]
