    Beautiful interview! As a 2010 SOTA alum, I can't understate Steve and Sunny's impact on the school (and I was so grateful to have learned from/with them directly). I remember one time I ran into Sunny after losing my wallet, feeling totally upset but trying to hold it together. She told me to just cry, be sad, feel how overwhelmed I was. That moment has stuck with me after fifteen years because it was so rare to have adults take us seriously and encourage us to trust our own feelings. "Not best practices but best people." 💯!!

    I want a law to be created and passed that explicitly states and rules that if a youngster used to disrupt classes but no longer does so, that even if he/she has all regular mainstream subject classes and a regular mainstream homeroom class, that it is illegal for the youngster’s regular mainstream homeroom teacher to refuse to give permission for him/her to go on a regular mainstream school club trip and that it is illegal for the youngster’s regular mainstream homeroom teacher to tell him/her to get the permission from a special education teacher. This is no way to reward a youngster for behaving him/herself and it causes the youngster irreversible psychological damage. Furthermore, whoever the youngster is made it clear that he/she turned over a new leaf, that he/she wants to be in the regular mainstream only, that he/she does not want anything to do with special education or any other stigmas whatsoever, and that he/she wants to be treated exactly like everybody else! This is not too much for the youngster to ask for! Please reply.
