Step into the chaos, compassion, and controlled mayhem of the Alternative Learning Center—where the desks wobble, the drama’s daily, and hope shows up in steel-toed boots and sarcasm.

In this first episode, Colt Lee (veteran, educator, and chaos coordinator) kicks off Holding the Line with stories from the front lines of the ALC—where teaching meets triage, and relationships are your best classroom management strategy.

From flipped classrooms to ceiling-dwelling baby dolls, we dive into what it really takes to reach students who’ve been written off by the system—and why they’re worth every wild moment.
