How long have you been doing this

2019-01-07 05:14:20 UTC  

it helps them by focusing on something other than how they're limited outside of school

2019-01-07 05:14:26 UTC  

first year

2019-01-07 05:14:30 UTC  

God damn

2019-01-07 05:14:31 UTC  

second semester

2019-01-07 05:14:38 UTC  

I don't half-ass

2019-01-07 05:14:59 UTC  

Well don't get tired

2019-01-07 05:15:00 UTC  

You have 30 more years of this legacy

2019-01-07 05:15:07 UTC  

the kids don't know my channel, but I have a YouTube channel already

2019-01-07 05:15:18 UTC  

Careful with that

2019-01-07 05:15:27 UTC  

I won't let them see it, because I do political commentary

2019-01-07 05:15:27 UTC  

Kids are very tech savvy

2019-01-07 05:15:34 UTC  

and it gets a bit graphic

2019-01-07 05:15:37 UTC  

they are

2019-01-07 05:15:43 UTC  

I suggest deleting it

2019-01-07 05:15:46 UTC  

Tbh

2019-01-07 05:15:47 UTC  

nah

2019-01-07 05:15:52 UTC  

the school is aware of it

2019-01-07 05:15:57 UTC  

Oh.

2019-01-07 05:15:59 UTC  

and I keep it restricted

2019-01-07 05:16:04 UTC  

Good then

2019-01-07 05:16:14 UTC  

I'm honest with my administration

2019-01-07 05:16:50 UTC  

the first exercise I did with a classroom of undocumented immigrants was I wrote on the board "Is America great?"

2019-01-07 05:17:20 UTC  

that prompted a huge discussion to show the kids, I want their opinions expressed regardless of my views on them

2019-01-07 05:17:26 UTC  

it worked well

2019-01-07 05:17:33 UTC  

and yes, the wording was intentional

2019-01-07 05:17:41 UTC  

I get it

2019-01-07 05:17:46 UTC  

So what happened

2019-01-07 05:17:56 UTC  

I'm guessing most said not good enough

2019-01-07 05:18:05 UTC  

we discussed how some were scared of Trump and how they think he is unfair

2019-01-07 05:18:23 UTC  

others showed actually liking him

2019-01-07 05:18:28 UTC  

it was surreal

2019-01-07 05:18:34 UTC  

but productive

2019-01-07 05:18:45 UTC  

children learned to not apologize for their beliefs

2019-01-07 05:18:54 UTC  

You opened their minds but also created a divide lol

2019-01-07 05:19:00 UTC  

That's good though

2019-01-07 05:19:12 UTC  

interestingly, the kids work well together

2019-01-07 05:19:20 UTC  

Even when they disagree?

2019-01-07 05:19:28 UTC  

it opened a dialogue that honestly helped them move pass their differences

2019-01-07 05:19:35 UTC  

yes

2019-01-07 05:19:39 UTC  

God damn
