What if the biggest breakthrough in education isn't better curriculum, but a better way of understanding kids? In this episode, Ross Greene explains why struggling students aren't choosing to fail—they're facing obstacles adults often overlook. He shares why punishment rarely solves the real problem, how schools can create environments where every child has the opportunity to succeed, and what "meeting kids where they're at" actually looks like in practice. Along the way, we discuss his newest book, The Kids Who Aren't Okay, and why rethinking expectations could transform classrooms, families, and workplaces alike. Whether you're a parent, educator, leader, or simply someone who wants to help people thrive, this conversation will challenge the way you think.
