    Re: Racism in the classroom
    Posted by Angela/SC on 9/05/08


    Hi Tom,

    Thank you for your input. I'm usually light hearted with my kids
    and I didn't take the cracker comment too seriously, it just
    worried me that they would talk to others like that.

    We had what I call a class pow-wow. I pulled out the old
    Socratic method and we took a break from Math. I actually did
    some differentiation :) We discussed civil rights in the US and
    talked about what they knew and what they heard...two different
    things. We all learned a little something yesterday. Most
    important is we learned to respect one another.

    I want my kids to get ready for the world and I want them to know
    the difference between what's acceptable at home and what's
    acceptable outside the front door.

    I REALLY liked what you wrote though and copy and pasted it! :)
    Oh, I will get a lot of use out of it! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

    Have A Great Day & Thank you!
