Schools can be a safe place for discussion if kids ask, but it does not need to be the focus of all your instruction for the next few days with brand new powerpoints and worksheets all about it to where they feel beaten over the head with it. Just my thoughts.

[Whitley Rubinson @WhitleyRubinson]

My next thought is that schools should not feel the need to take the place of parents/guardians when it comes to discussing these things. Kids are already hearing all about it at home from TVs and phones, from social media, etc. They don’t need it coming at them from every space

[Whitley Rubinson @WhitleyRubinson]

My second thought is that GT students in particular are typically described as having a heightened sense of justice, right and wrong. It causes so much anxiety to see so much injustice at every turn. I am shaking as I type this because I identify with them.

[Whitley Rubinson @WhitleyRubinson]

My first thought is to protect those poor babies and refrain from anything that could cause further fear and anxiety. These kids have been through an extremely difficult year full of fear. They don’t need more heaped on top of their struggle. They are kids.

If you are a teacher wondering how to approach what happened today at the capitol: as someone removed from the classroom, not pressured by colleagues or admin or other teachers on Twitter to do and say the right things, or to talk about it in a certain way/from a certain lens...

Theo and his “guitar”. He got it out of the drawer and started to strum.

Maybe if the Stanford band had some Whataburger they wouldn’t be so unhappy
