I'm glad that we were able to broach such difficult and complex issues with the respect that is necessary to hear the voices of those who are otherwise often silenced. There are often issues that arise in our classrooms in which we are expected to react with professionalism, but we may not be able to immediately know what that is. No matter how much we read and how much experience we have, we may not know the "right" thing to say in any given situation or circumstance. We must rely on our intentions to be good teachers to help guide us as we listen to the concerns of both the people who have more power than we do and the people who have less.
