Tuesday Open Thread
Did anyone attend the Superintendent's Regional meeting last night at North Seattle CC? Just wondering if any Nova students showed up to protest the teacher cuts at their school.Have you or your teen seen the Netflix series, American Vandal? It's a pretty funny/crude mock-u-mentary about two teen documentary filmmakers who examine crimes at high schools. The first season was about a guy with impulse control problems - who would be labeled the pain-in-the-ass class clown - and who spray-painted every teacher's car in the parking lot with a penis.
I know, you're thinking, "Why would I encourage my child to watch this?" Because beyond it being funny, it does get to some very serious issues about labeling kids, how kids treat each other at schools, what it means to lie. The show earned a Peabody award. From Oregon Live:
Creators Tony Yacenda and Dan Perrault, along with showrunner Dan Lagana, not only expertly spoofed true-crime models like "Serial" and "Making a Murderer," they nailed high school satire, introduced compelling characters and made viewers desperate to know who did the - er, committed the vandalism.The second season is set at St Bernadine's High School...in Bellevue and it's about ....poop. Sadly, not filmed in Washington state but in Oregon. But the star basketball player in it says he came from Rainier Beach and has never forgotten where he came from. (Rainier Beach is mentioned in two episodes and it shows the neighborhood, not the school.)
A big issue that can get overlooked - pronouncing students' names correctly. Here's a good article from KQED about how teachers can do better (and any of us who volunteer in classrooms).
The names of white and nonwhite children alike are mispronounced, Kohli and Solórzano write, but the experience is much more damaging for a child who “goes to school and reads textbooks that do not reference her culture, sees no teachers or administrators that look like her, and perhaps does not hear her home language,” since these cues (plus advertisements, movies and other indicators of societal values at large) already communicate “that who they are and where they come from is not important.” For one Latina study participant, having her name mispronounced made her wish her parents were more Americanized; a Sri Lankan American reported feeling that his name was “an imposition on others.”
