I try to check in with people but I also respect that sometimes people need space. I just let them know that I’m here for them if and when they want to join.

I think it evolved as the quarter continued. I would say not a lot because people tend to participate in their own individual groups.

When people work and behave as a collective instead of as an individual.

i sometimes invite people to sit with me. i wish i did more but i'm not very confident people actually want to hang out with me

From my experience, things were assumed about me when they weren't true and heard some not so nice word about me were going around mc because of events that happened.

expectations relating to the middle college contract are inconsistent. one rule being broken is dealt with severely, but another (drug use for example) is completely overlooked

# data[].attributes.body
I think we should all be more open with each other when we have issues instead of talking behind other people's backs. its hurtful to hear other people talk about things they just assume. it makes the classroom feel hostile sometimes

# data[].attributes.body
Just remind them politely and suggest what you think they should be doing without being self righteous-neil

I try really hard if someone is sitting alone or if someone is new to invite them in and talk to them. Also i try really hard if someone is saying things that are very nice or don't feel welcoming to kindly ask them to stop but I've had it happen before where the people will get mad at me and make me feel unsafe

go to our teachers with hopes of their impartiality & support, but sometimes not everyone is fair

from my experience we don't do much community building. for the most part we all stay in our separate groups and don't really ever interact outside them. its the sad truth to be honest.

# data[].attributes.body
I often feel too scared to do anything but I dont want to be a snitch

# data[].attributes.body
I think we were all a lot closer to each other at the beginning of the year but then we kind of split as the year went on and now we don't really have community building

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like our class doesn't really foster much of a community. There is a lot of clique-iness and divided groups and people don't seem to interact much outside of them (which I'll admit I've been a part of). We've sort of stopped trying to do class-wide community building activities as well.

# data[].attributes.body
I will always call someone out, no matter what. For example, if someone was putting someone else down based on their race or disability or had prejudice against others, I would state that it was not right and why it wasn't right. Sometimes I say things based on my own background or what I learned from others. A good word of thumb is "If you see something, say something."

# data[].attributes.body
I think for our class, we do not do too much community building. On one level I understand since we have studies and now quarentine. But I think since we all have time before classes, after classes, between classes, we could get to know each other a little better. I totally get how we fall into the pattern of sitting with the same people every day, I am at fault of this too, but I think it would be helpful if we took an extra step and push to meet people on a deeper level.

# data[].attributes.body
I think we do a good job of being kind to each other when it comes to face-to-face interaction but sometimes I hear things that other people say behind people's backs and its hurtful

# data[].attributes.body
I think in the beginning we did a lot when we were all meeting each other and the seniors helped a lot with that but once we all settled into our "groups" I think it stopped. I also feel like anyone who wasn't in a group just didn't have a chance after that like now if you don't have a group you're just on your own

# data[].attributes.body
I think that it was easier in the beginning of the year because people didn’t know each other very well so there weren’t really established “groups”. Once people kind of established those groups it got a lot more challenging to mix talk with people outside of those groups

# data[].attributes.body
In the beggining of the year everything started off great, however as time set on, a divide was created. It feels like there are two halves of the class, and to be honest one of the sides seems almost "exclusive" or something like that.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like in the beginning of the year a lot people were trying to hang outside of school but after while people stop trying and starting assuming things about others while they don't even know who you actually are.

# data[].attributes.body
For me I feel like I literally like haven't had a conversation with a bunch of people in our class and I somehow feel closer to the senior class than I do to the Juniors and it can be very hard because I really don't know about the lives of like half the people in the class and I feel like I can't necessarily always talk to them at all. And I feel like the way our class is, like it seems like impossible to talk to some people outside your "friend group" and it's something that's really been bothering me. Because I want to talk to more people but it becomes very hard and I think this effects me being able to share deep and actual thoughts in class. I think that we should switch up the class more so that more people can talk to others and I feel like I really would like to be able to talk to and know more people. But I don't really feel that with the Junior class right now.

# data[].attributes.body
If I know the person, I say something. I wish I would say something even if I didn't really know the person but I get really nervous so I don't interfere if I'm not really comfortable talking to the other person.

# data[].attributes.body
I feel like that our class hasn't really kept at forming a cohesive community- there is no one emphasis or a clear mission statement that comes out, and that often makes us a bit unfocused on a common set of mores, like Trish said.

# data[].attributes.body
Mutual respect despite differences and a sense of unity throughout all of the people in a community.

# data[].attributes.body
mutual respect, trust, equality

# data[].attributes.body
Instead of thinking for yourself as a "me" think as a "we".

Judge free as much as possible. Keeping an open mind and remembering that everyone is from a different background and has different experiences so just because you may not agree or understand doesn't mean that what they are feeling isn't valid or important.

True community is a feeling of unity with a certain group of people that go beyond genetics and family tree. True community is a group of people that share a similar ethical or moral belief on lifestyle and society.

# data[].attributes.body
Knowing everyone in the community, or at least their names

# data[].attributes.body
a feeling of safety around the people in the environment

Everybody knowing everybody else and feeling comfortable to interact with them even if they are not directly friends.

Respecting everyone and being nice to everyone. Being in an environment that feels supportive and welcoming

# data[].attributes.body
I think that being able to interact with each other and being open and honest and comfortable with everyone.

# data[].attributes.body
I think an openness of discussion, as well as an opportunity to learn more about others. In addition, I think that learning more about other people and being open to struggles and problems is also what makes an community special. Also, having rules that respect the rights and do not infringe on other's physical safety.

# data[].attributes.body
Trust and comfort

# data[].attributes.body
If everyone respects everyone in a  community, chances are thats a really good community.
