EMPHASIS ON QUOTATIONS SURROUNDING POLITICAL. In this episode, we explore why we, as a society, politicize every event that occurs in our society. How do teachers approach these events in classroom settings and how should they address problems or conflicts that arise from within?

Today, we talk about the Model Minority Myth and how it effects the Asian-American community and other BIPOC in our society.

In this episode, Princess Pascua and Hailee McKinnis, along with guest speaker Diane Kim and moderators Mr. Arns and Dr. Javier-Watson discuss events that have occurred since the last episode from season 1. How has social media and quarantine affected our daily lives? What is CANCEL CULTURE?

As leaders of the school, we talk about the pressures we felt before the new school year.

In our final episode we talk about recent events within the last week and a half: George Floyd, BLM, and institutional racism. We also bring the spotlight a little closer to home, unpacking our emotions and reactions to St. Francis’ instagram post and the comments we read.

In this most recent episode we recorded via Zoom call and talked about how current events are effecting us. We have a special guest: Gabby Bauman and her older sister, Isabelle.
