Ep. 124: Beyond Punishment: The Case for Accountability
American educators are in urgent need of meaningful behavioral support. Too often, punishment and consequences are conflated, while accountability gets lost in the noise. In this episode, Brian and Kasey unpack what accountability really means: doing what is reasonably expected and ensuring behaviors and expectations are met. They explore how true accountability places responsibility on both students and adults—requiring teachers to clearly teach, reteach, and support expectations. Grounded in grace, accountability neither ignores behavior nor excuses it, but recognizes our shared humanity and insists on growth, change, and support along the way.
