Friday Open Thread
I didn't go to the Work Session on Wednesday but here's the agenda. Interesting reading and the budget detail for next year starts on page 59. For Central Office, it looks like Communications, HR (Nutrition and Securities) and Facilities took most of the blow from cuts."Initial" school calendar dates here; still needs Board approval.
I see the Board webpage has undergone a bit of a design update. Unfortunately, they don't have a calendar update for director meetings - not so helpful. Here's a link that has them as Patu, Pinkham and Peters (the three "Ps" of the Board) all have community meetings tomorrow.
I haven't seen anything from the district on this subject but the new and popular Netflix series, 13 Reasons Why, is getting a lot of attention from districts around the country. Based on a YA book of the same title, it is the story of one girl's suicide and her reasons (that she lays out to people she feels hurt/let her down). Some districts worry this series glorifies suicide.
That, along with a myriad of other issues — including a disturbing scene graphically showing Hannah's suicide — has mental health experts saying the series could be more harmful than helpful.
Critics have lauded the show, which has earned stellar ratings, including a 91 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. It's also been the most tweeted about program so far this year, Variety reported. But some mental health professionals feel it is a dangerous fantasy that romanticizes suicide.
Additionally, he said the show's premise — that other people are at fault for Hannah's suicide — is a failure of the show.
Like Schwartz, she said children won't always be able to distinguish what is a plot device and what is reality.
"I cringed when I watched the school counselor [scene]," Alongi said. "As a mental health professional and someone who works with kids, it's cringe-inducing, but it was scripted that way and kids need to know that."
"That is precisely the other reason why we really try to shy away from saying that someone who died of suicide is the result of something someone did," Schwartz said. "It leaves survivors with a horrifying burden of guilt."Suicide is the second highest cause of death for kids 10-24.
