  Stephen Sroka, who travels the world advising schools, knows firsthand what labels can do to children. When he was a third-grader, his teacher wrote on his report card: "Parent notified boy is retarded."
  
  Today, Sroka holds a doctorate in health education and is an adjunct assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University's School of Medicine.
  
  In an interview yesterday, Sroka criticized the federal No Child Left Behind Act of 2001 as being too focused on academics, rather than on "teaching the total child" and looking at his emotional, social, physical and spiritual needs.
  
  "With No Child Left Behind,
  
  we're actually leaving many children behind," said Sroka, who was scheduled to address a national conference of school social workers this morning at the Sheraton Society Hill Hotel.
  ...
  But Sroka said schools need more "student detectors" like social workers, who can help children and their families resolve a problem before it escalates into violence.
  
  "We don't have school violence, we have community violence that takes place in schools," Sroka said.

  Stephen R. Sroka, Ph.D.
  
  Steve grew up in poverty in a housing project. His third grade report card read, "Parent notified boy is retarded." In the ninth grade, he had two hip operations and was told that he may never walk again. The doctor told him he better start to listen to his teachers. And, as he tells students today, the more he listened, the smarter the teachers became. Education was the only way out of the ghetto for Steve.

  Stephen Sroka: "Let's put kindness back in schools," the award-winning educator said.
  ...
  Monday's keynote speaker, Stephen Sroka, an award-winning educator and author, spoke of hardships and problems faced by students in Indian schools, but also of ways to reach them.
  
  "Around the country, there are children being left behind, but in Indian Country, the dropout rate is near 70 percent," he said."Native youth are the most at-risk youth.These are not kids being bad; these are cries for help.When they cry for help, we punish them."
  
  Education should have a kindness-based approach to students, and old methods of teaching may not necessarily work for students today, Sroka said.
  
  "They want someone who cares for them, not someone who is only looking for a paycheck," he said.
