When Grit Isn't Enough by Linda Nathan
This book argues that celebrating student 'grit' is insufficient for children who face chronic stress, trauma, and poverty; instead, schools must prioritize relationships, safety, and systemic supports. Drawing on classroom experience and case studies, it recommends trauma-informed practices, humane discipline, smaller learning communities, and adult accountability to create environments where students can truly learn and thrive. The central message is that changing adult practices and school structures—not just exhorting resilience—enables lasting student success.
