Tonight in class we had one of the most interesting discussions that we have ever had in FSS....Students had to give their initial, gut reactions to 12 statements. They had to decide if they strongly agree, agree, disagree, or strongly disagree with each statement. The statements were:
1. All men are created equal.
2. Girls should act like girls.
3. It's okay to be different.
4. Nobody is all bad or all good.
5. Some words are so offensive that they should never be stated or written.
6. Under our justice system, all citizens are treated fairly in our courts of law.
7. The old adage, "Sticks and stones may break your bones, but words will never hurt you" is true.
8. Speaking standard grammar proves that a person is smart.
9. A hero is born, not made.
10. No one is above the law.
11. Education is the great equalizer.
12. When the law does not succeed in punishing criminals, citizens should do so.
I learned a lot about my students today....It was very enlightening.
