Friday Open Thread
It's near the end of the school year and a time when awards - both in yearbooks and at events come out. Unbelievably, there are grown people - in charge of watching over these awards - that seem to have the worst judgment. There's this one from Texas.A group of teachers are being disciplined after they thought it would be funny to name a student “most likely to become a terrorist.”I am reminded of a similar thing that happened to one of my sons in a high school yearbook. If an award is not funny or complimentary and, most importantly, not something you would want said about you, teachers/advisors should say no.
Lizeth Villanueva, 13, said a teacher gave her the award during a mock ceremony in her college prep class at Anthony Aguirre Junior High School in Houston on Tuesday. Lizeth said the teacher warned students that the awards “might hurt their feelings." She then handed out the certificates as other teachers watched and laughed. But Lizeth didn't think it was funny.
The Board has a retreat tomorrow at JSCEE from 10 am to 3 pm. Agenda. The retreat is open to the public but no comment/testimony is taken. It is a great way to buttonhole directors either before the meeting starts or on breaks. Two big topics - Racial Equity Training: Stereotype Threat and Identity Safety and Equity in Highly Capable Programs.
Director Burke has another meeting on Monday to discuss Lincoln High School at Hamilton IMS from 6:30-8:30 pm.
