![Public education was *meant* to be for every child.
When a child struggles to fit the system it’s not the child that’s broken. It’s the system that needs to adapt. 💔
Every child *can* learn, thrive, and shine. When we stop expecting them to fit one mold and start building environments that work *with* them, not against them. 🌈
