Social Injustice

I really enjoyed our discussion on racial issues today. I think as educators it is important to consider the idea of another person's story. One of the things this class has confirmed for me is that everyone has a story. We need to be cognizant of that particular story when we make decisions in our classroom and we also have to be ready to handle somewhat potentially volatile situations. I think our discussions can lead to a stronger community but they can lead to some emotionally charged responses that can have an adverse effect. These are chances we must take if we are going to cause people to think and become reflexive.
