Should schools be able to punish students for things they do outside the classroom? In this episode of Sarah’s Thoughts, Sarah Grynberg explores the controversial new rule in Victoria, Australia that gives schools the power to suspend or expel students for what happens off school grounds, even online or on the weekend. Through her signature lens of reflection and heart, she asks a bigger question: Are we shaping behaviour through fear of consequence, or through the quiet cultivation of character? You’ll learn: *Why true values are built outside the classroom, not within it. *How integrity shows up in unseen moments. *The mean comment your child posts on a Friday night might feel small in the moment, but it can have lasting consequences when they walk back into school on Monday. This episode isn’t just about school policy. It’s about what kind of people we’re helping raise and who we’re choosing to be ourselves.  Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.
