teachers need mental health training. not to help students solve their complex health issues by any means, but to notice that missing a day of school is the least of our worries. to notice that an A+ doesn’t matter when your entire world is falling apart. teachers need to be trained to notice the unique cry for help instead of criticising it. telling a student that they’re failing and putting their future at risk does not cause progression.
