sKIDS – The Label That Sticks is a compelling documentary that challenges the way we categorize young people in education. When a student is labeled as “difficult,” “at-risk,” or placed in alternative education, how does that identity shape their future?

Through intimate conversations with both educators and youth, the film reveals a profound truth: as long as we label students, we avoid taking responsibility for looking deeper into the root causes of behavior. These surface-level categorizations prevent us from truly understanding students’ needs and limit their potential.

For parents, sKIDS offers crucial insight into navigating educational systems and advocating for their children. For educators, it provides a transformative lens for interpreting challenging behaviors and building classrooms that foster growth and belonging.

Thought-provoking and urgent, sKIDS invites audiences to question long-held assumptions about so-called “problem students” while offering practical wisdom for breaking cycles of marginalization. By exposing the damage of stigmatization and highlighting more compassionate approaches, the film empowers communities to reimagine education as a place where every child’s capacity for growth can be recognized and nurtured.
