And now we're friends, I find this Challenge Day (that's what we call it, a few American people come over here to organize this thing) or step on the line an awesome way to listen to each other's stories and so to eventually understand each other better. And with more understanding, there is (at least here) less bullying.

speaker came to my school last year and played the trailer before the exercise. Apparently he went to this high School. If his questions applied we stood up. At first it was do you like Kendrick, Eminem, 21. Then continued to get stronger. Have you witnessed violence, has your friend died from gang violence, do you know a drug addict personally etc. Have you attempted suicide. One girl cried in her friends arms and I tried not to cry in front of the school since it was in the gym. The whole point was to see you were not alone by looking around the gym with all 9th and 10th grade. It was tough but eye opening to see some of my friends standing up.

@princesscookie47816 жыл бұрын
Tiffany Bolton I'm pretty sure in public schools classroom supplies come under an allocated budget or it is part of a booklist for students to purchase themselves.. It is pretty weird for you to have to buy your own supplies. Unless of course the school doesn't deem the supply a necessity for learning, in which case of course it wouldn't fund it. And if students really can't afford the supplies, they can get help from the school. This is what usually happens in Australia.

I will never forget the times teachers did this exercise with my class, twice in middle, it started off as innocent but once the questions get deep it brings back many memories like once a girl it my class began to cry when the teacher asked if we have any family members who were deported and it trigger a sad memory for her, she was allowed to stop and see the counselor. Another time I will never forget when a teacher asked "step over the line if you've ever tried drugs/drink" everyone except me stepped over then I did the I love you sign because we had to, then on the flip side a question that still haunts me was "step over the line if you've ever been bullied by a teacher" I was the only one to step over, and in that moment I felt so disgusted because I was in a class where everyone was popular or favor by teachers and I thought "they'll never understand the trauma of what that feels like" I felt so jugded even though the exercise was meant to join us together, looking back that class was full of snakes. I'm over it now but damn.

By the end of it, everyone was crying, except for a few students who were laughing, though they got shunned; and yes, I feel that teachers should do something like this more often. It really helps people understand how many people have gone through something similar.

I went to a school with Mexicans, Asians, and blacks and I was one of the only white people in my school. There was a “white school” in my town where the majority of students was white. People at my school which the majority was color thought I was white privileged. They hated me but we did this same thing in class and I could answer every question like everyone else. When we were asked to take the journals people came up one at a time and when the bell rang and everyone left I left (without a journal) and my teacher asked why and I told her “why would it matter? And I just left. My teacher gave me the journal next day in class and I took it home but never wrote in it and when my teacher found out why it broke her heart. Because I was so involved with gangs I didn’t have time to write in my journal when I was wondering if I was going to die tonight. So she told me to write about that and I did.

A K the term is “my bad” meaning my fault, i messed up. But her saying “my badness” comes across as silly as she was using slang they used but in a more innocent way.

I remember watching this movie in school once. I was trying to be tough since my best friend (a guy) sat right beside me but inside I was a mess. This was a really good movie. Very emotional

Did anyone else notice how the two guys looked at each other while talking about losing a friend to gang violence? Like they were opps but felt that hurt together

I like how she was teaching those greater values to the kids to say that where ever they came from or what ever set or hood they've claimed it's nothing compared to anything that go going on now....their friends that gotten killed or end up betrayed shows that they didn't have to end up down those paths, they could be better then them....live better learn to forgive learn from their mistakes,embrace their strengths and acknowledge their characteristics for what they are based on what they go through.Parts of this I've done in school too we would write about things they make us who we are...and things about those that inspire us and make us be proud of being be what we are it's relatable to me.

I love the fact that there was at least one white kid in that classroom. Regardless of whether anyone wants to acknowledge it or not, white privilege is a thing, and I bet he learned a lot. 4:19

Yes! The last scene is a classroom picture of all the students and the teacher, it slowly transitions to the picture of the actual students and teacher that this story is based on

4:01 Chris, Pablo, Lanky, Wickedly, Alex, Ryan, Jennifer, and a few family members. I know there’s more but it’s been years since so I sadly don’t remember all of them. I wish I can cry about it now but all my tears have ran out so much before. I almost got murc (murdered) growing up too and even a few times that happened recently. It’s a cruel world out there and it sucks there’s more violence than love. Spread love not hate because saving one can save a lot more than you think.

What’s crazy is these kids left class and went to experience some of the same things they stepped to the line for.Whats crazier is schools in close neighborhoods have the exact same experiences.Most kids are just products of their environment.Not a lot of them make it out especially when you have certain skin color.

I like how she doesn’t treat her students poorly because they are People of Color and regurgitating racial implications of racial biases & racial stereotypes. She is such a caring and independent teacher. WE NEED MORE TEACHERS LIKE HER, who actually cares about her students success!!! She really sees them struggling and wants to get them out of poverty or other financial hardships when it comes to financial instability & embezzlement of money.

The line game is an ice breaker I wanna do when I start teaching. It is a way to get to know your peers and see you may have more in common than you know.
