Welcome back!  I am pleased to be jumping back into the podcasting game with Episode 13 of Those Kids Podcast!This month, we asked the students at Oconee Academy what makes a behavior "worth it" in their eyes.The question, "Is it worth it?" is one of 5 questions we teach our students to ask themselves before making a decision.  It is a great way to pause and think about future consequences.Stay tuned for further episodes diving into the other "OA Fast 5" questions we use here at Oconee Academy!Once again, thank you for listening.  We would love it if you would rate, review, and subscribe to continue supporting "Those Kids"!
