Navigating School Cant

If you're watching your child struggle with school, overwhelmed, shut down, or refusing to
go -you know how isolating it feels. You've been told to push harder, be stricter, or just "get
them in." But what if the answer isn't force…it's understanding and a new paradigm ?
I'm Katherine Edgar, and I've walked this path with both my children through ten long years
of school-based trauma, advocacy battles, many school moves, distance ed, the lot …and
finally, breakthrough. Both are now thriving.
School Can't isn't defiance. It's distress.
This platform exists because too many families are doing this alone, without the roadmap I
wish I'd had.
