I enjoyed Dr. Green's reflection on kids, "doing well if they wanna" and how he highlighted the danger of making assumptions about why certain students, "don't wanna." Dr. Green states that, "If a kid could do well, he would do well" and that a kid may be facing adversity or hardship. I agree with Dr. Green, but I also think there needs to be a larger discussion about what exactly it means to "do well." Dr. Green throws the phrase, "do well" around several times, but, I'd argue the word "well" should be taken subjectively as we must meet kids where they're at. Success looks different for everyone.
