This is an interesting perspective that made sense to me. Teaching students to express emotions helps them to relate to the outside world which promotes tolerance.
I agree with what Chelsea said, this is a good article that reminds us that we should be in tune with our emotions and to teach students in school about this.
This website talks about how censoring our history will give students a false sense of history. It says we won't learn from history if we don't know the accurate version. It also gives examples of teachers going on strike because of this.
Good read. You definitely cannot censored history, it is something that has to be told in entirety even if it is good, bad, ugly or indifferent. The truth cannot be censored.
I like this article you chose. No one should have to limit their knowledge to false information. we should be told the truth and we deserve it. it is our history!
If we do not have a comprehensible history, our future will be uncertain. Truth is everything and without it, we are living in a false representation of understanding. It is definitely something worth fighting for.
New research conducted by Dr. Dieter Wolke shows the lasting affects of bullying on youth. Researchers found that conflict amongst peers creates stress-related issues such as anxiety and depression. A call to action is asked among communities to find better resources for mental health.
This kind of article should be spread around to help decrease and get rid of bullies. Many just think that it's only teasing but they don't know that can stay with you forever. This article shows that we do stay with lasting affects when bullied.
Restorative Justice is fine when you have a student who is willing to put forth the change and in turn is a positive role-model for their peers. Sometimes, it's just a pat on the back and the student is left to deal with the challenges of being in a school where bullying is tolerated by their peers. Sometimes these pre-teens and teens have some serious mental issues that need to be addressed outside of school. It infuriates me that the innocent, kind and quiet kids, become targets for these kids. Bullying is a power play by some very manipulative children. I vote for serious consequences on bullies. Kick them out of school period! 1st offence, your counseled, 2nd offence there is the door!
