Larissa is an educational consultant writing policies, procedures, protocols and behaviour models that bring parents back to a functioning relationship with School staff. She creates policies that address absenteeism and late arrivals, rude and violent behaviour. She has created a working behavioural model that heavily involves working with parents to decrease suspensions and improve behaviour. Her policies work from the fundamental perspective of no phones on school property and incorporating parents at every level in the school. Would you like to see these policies to be implemented as they will help children’s mental health?18. Any comments or thoughts?
