I read that yesterday. I think the idea is lovely, but I'm not sure how you could properly scale that.

This. It actually frustrates me because I think the solution and "correct" way to deal with behavior issues has been obvious for years, but the teachers and administrators in some of the hardest hit schools are already so overworked and overwhelmed with crowded class rooms. I'm sure some of my teachers friends read the part about Wil getting individual attention and time with an adult and had feelings of guilt and frustration for wanting to have the capacity to do that.
