It grabbed their attention. Steve Jobs speaking to a graduating class. Very interesting views. https://youtu.be/Tuw8hxrFBH8?si=5LbrxCVT98-egW5L

I also make sure I always go first to help break the tension.

I think staff could generate better scenarios for students to discuss that are through the lens of a teenager.

I have found that we finish early on somedays, maybe as a result of students not feeling comfortable sharing and discussing as a group.

It seems to open the students up a little bit.
