Case: Dealing with Teenagers and Race
I am a teacher who has a lot of interaction with students both in the classroom and in various extra curricular activities after school. I very must dislike how many students of all races speak about race sometimes, but I also sometimes wonder if my view of what they are talking about is different from how their generation is dealing with race. Students will make light of their own race and sometimes bring up racial stereotypes in a tongue in cheek way usually talking about one of their closest friends. As a white male teacher, I sometimes am not sure how to handle some of these situations, especially when it comes from students of other races about their own race. I realize that an overreaction on my part in some cases may make the student who is being targeted feel safe, but at other times may bring extra attention to the situation and cause embarrassment to the student.
My question mainly is focused on how the current generation of teenagers view race and how are they handling racial differences? How do we navigate what may be offensive to my generation while understanding what is not offensive to the current generation?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
This might be an edgy solution, but with permission maybe you could do an anonymous survey asking students what is actually offensive. Presenting material in class like informational texts/articles on the subject would create an open forum for students to talk on the subject as well. There students could express what would offend them and what would not have, but have it based around the theme of the article. |

| Comments: This is a great idea to do as well. Knowing how the kids feel about certain situations is good communication and once you know how they feel you can take action from their. I would use this in my classroom. |
