    A Must See For Educators
    When you understand that behind every kid who acts out or behaves badly there is a reason. More than likely years of reasons. When we fail to understand the kids that we work with, we fail kids. This is a must see for every educator who works with kids...all kinds of kids. To understand that progress is not a straight line, that there will be small victories and then major setbacks, is imperative. For these young people, the end is just the beginning of their journey. Our focus needs to be there beyond the classroom.

    FAQ1

    • I am fortunate enough to be able to step out on my front porch, for the past twenty five years, and see Lincoln High School. I am proud of the school, the students, my community and especially Jim Sporleder. I was very pleased to learn about Paper Tigers. My question is, when and where will I be able to see this documentary?
