Summary

Let’s tell the truth—students, teachers, and parents get on each other’s nerves. After returning from a trip to Utah with our 7th graders, I was reminded that growth brings friction. In this episode, Michael Bonner unpacks what “iron sharpens iron” really looks like in the classroom, why relationships matter more during developmental shifts, and why the middle of the year is the moment to lean in, not pull back.
