This puts us into a difficult position. https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295332553 2021-03-10 21:49:33 UTC https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295332553 As we discuss the Holocaust, students are beginning to voice unfairness. We had a big discussion on the term "quota" yesterday. Nearly everyone could identify with limits as well as minimums for bringing in underserved populations. https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295336333 2021-03-10 21:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295336333 I noticed some of my fellow 7th grade teachers were not aware of the music group Kris Kross and their whole eyebrow fad the other day. They were popular when I was in 7th grade. https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295336752 (S. Smith)]]> 2021-03-10 21:51:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295336752 I have actually heard some of my students say that Stalin and Hitler weren't bad people and that they just went about their strategies wrong. We just discussed the rise of fascism and are now talking about the Holocaust in 7th grade. This was a little alarming and I would love some help in giving feedback as I don't want to step on any toes as far as what maybe encouraged from home. Please help, thanks. https://padlet.com/bowersl2/vnq0fukcnay3znrs/wish/1295348690 (S.

Sometimes it is difficult to talk to someone once you have triggered something deeply enriched in their culture and that makes them trusting you much harder. (adults and students) We are all going to cross the lines of one another at sometime and should have respect enough to openly talk with one another when the lines are crossed. (S.
