Interview with Ben Sacco / Author of "Disruption in Schools: Understand me Before You Mark me"

HOSTED BY PAUL SULLIVAN

How do we really know what our kids are trying to tell us - even when they can’t put it into words? Ben Sacco, author of Disruption in Schools: Understand Me Before You Mark Me, reframes how we think about classroom behavior. He explains why “disruption” is often a sign of adversity - not misbehavior - and how parents can spot the real signals beneath a child’s shutdowns, boredom, or the classic “school was good” response. Ben also shares practical strategies for recognizing when behavior is actually communication, helping parents and teachers respond with clarity, compassion, and consistency.
