What to do before responding to the discussion questions:

challenge the understanding of the week's topics.**
Beth's Note:
Last week, I shared a fact-based story about a historical event in schools that created

stress, tears, and struggle.
I share my experiences when No Child Left Behind was implemented.
Listen to the story.
