I ended up enjoying playing with him and he really made an effort to get to know everyone and be a part of the team. It was a perfect example on how extracurriculars can be used as a form of restorative justice.

In chapter four of "Justice on Both Sides" I loved how Coach Denz touched on how being in an extracurricular makes a student more successful, I don't think it's brought up enough in schools. #BoulderJustice802

All the special education students welcomed him with open arms but I was very hesitant to be very nice to him. But by the very end of the season, it seemed that he got the most out of playing than any other kid there.

This idea of a third space is something I want to incorporate into my own classroom. I can't plan for what topics we will talk about because just like in the reading, the topics will come as they need to.

In "Rethinking Diversity: Hybridity and Hybrid Language Practices in the Third Space" I really enjoyed learning and reading about the idea of a third space. #BoulderJustice802

In the classroom, there's a lot of topics that don't get talked about because teachers might not feel comfortable bringing them up or they don't know if it's appropriate to bring up. However, those topics that usually don't get talked about tend to be the most important.

Even though this issue was hard to bring up it allowed us to have hard conversations that we hadn't experienced in school before. We became closer as a class and it allowed us to explore our own self and what others were experiencing and feeling.

At one point during the school year, we created an entire movie about sexual harassment. Even though we were only in 8th-grade he knew this was an important issue at our age, and would soon become more of an issue as we got into high school.

My 8th-grade teacher Mr. gold did a really amazing job of creating a third space for us. He created his class to barely have any guidelines. He allowed us to be creative and learn and talk about what we wanted to.

Interest Convergence means that people or a group will start to adapt and change as long as they see a privilege or gain for themselves. #BoulderJustice802

It is sad to see that even over 60 years later with the abolishment of segregation we still see it every day in the set up of communities and schools. We also still see it with people's attitudes and Ideas.

When reading Brown V. Board of Education and the Interest-Convergence Dilemma I liked how it touched on how even though segregation is illegal now, we still see it in our schools. #boulderjustice802

Although these predominantly white and black schools don't have signs outside them that say "White's only" or "Colored Only" like they would have in the 1940s/50s they still scream segregation by the way their communities are set up by the government.
