Learning Challenge: I wish my teacher knew...

Chalkboard (Eagle Country Online)

I read "What Kids Wish Their Teacher Knew" by Donna De La Cruz.

I think this article brought to attention a very good idea. Having these anonymous forms for kids to fill out ends up in some really eye opening responses. It shows that a lot of kids go through some rough times and are often hindered by them. This kind of activity encourages people to minimize assumptions about other people and increase empathy. A good way to practice compassion while respecting privacy is, of course, to throw out any assumptions you might make about someone. I haven't participated in anything like this, not as far as I can remember at least.
