Bringing it back home

Thanks to the two eighth graders who spoke about the Civil Rights Trip with the Facing Whiteness parent group this morning.
 

The room was full of parents of students from every grade of the school, and they had plenty of questions on topics ranging from cell phones (students only had them while calling home and on long bus rides) to the ways Gordon prepared them to think about some difficult history (“It’s become a subconscious thing where I’ve already learned about that stuff and it feels easier to talk about it.”)

Their advice to younger students?
“Savor every moment because it’s going to be over before you know it.”

Good advice for the Civil Rights Trip and for the entire Gordon experience.
