A2: Our kids deal with instability at home or other community issues that they don't have control over. #ecet2

mssackstein May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: #ecet2 kids are expected to be way too mature too fast IMO. That can exacerbate it for sure

iPrincipalJJ May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2 one of the biggest stressor is the idea that they could be attacked on social media while sleeping #ecet2

ShanaVWhite May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Poverty, home life issues, PTSD, racism/bigotry, bullying, stress of testing, grades #ecet2

AdamBrownEDU May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. Lack of stability outside of school, external pressures within the community, exposure to abuse/harm #ecet2

joerobison907 May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2. Ss are now getting stressed about things like HW by the 2nd grade--this builds for years-- unacceptable and a disservice to Ss #ECET2

Q2: What stressors do kids in your school face? how can/do we exacerbate those? #ecet2

mr_hayes May 21 @ 8:14 PM EDT

A2: Since my kids are from very rich families, they face intense pressure to do perform well. Be perfect. #ecet2

ImTheRealReRe May 21 @ 8:15 PM EDT

What if the reason for the issue is the family's fault? Getting them involved in treatment isn't such a good idea sometimes. #ecet2

In reply to @piptinning, @JayBilly2

piptinning May 21 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2 we over assess, tell them everything rides on a test, social media and influences.... Bugger being a kid these days! #ecet2

mr_hayes May 21 @ 8:15 PM EDT

A2: At times, the pressure doesn't come from parents but the kids are out of balanced. Involved in everything. #ecet2

Yes! Exactly that. Through #PBL and #servicelearning and classroom culture #ecet2

A2: Stressors include hunger, trauma from abuse, parent death, unhealthy home environments, and mental health issues. #ecet2

A8: If I see a T struggling, I'll either email or talk to them. Offer to watch their class or help in some way. Write a card. #ecet2
