Tiffany Hansen's four year old daughter has already been expelled from SEVEN different childcare centres. Her family is far from alone. There's an epidemic of early childhood expulsion across North America, and that's just the tip of the iceberg. Young learners requiring special supports are falling through the cracks from kindergarten all the way up to high school, and research shows many of those students will wind up incarcerated or worse. Meantime, many teachers are burned out and feel ill-equipped to manage increased demands in the classroom.
