Mashpee Inclusion and Diversity Committee <br /> 16 Great Neck Road North <br />Mashpee, MA 02649 <br />correspondences sent to her regarding the matter, and it wouldn’t matter what her <br />response was, there would be no appeasing some remarks. The tone of the emails she <br />was receiving were not worthy of a response. She used to believe so much more of what <br />she read in the media, and now her perspective has changed. She will issue a statement or <br />respond via email but will never respond via phone call so nothing is taken out of context. <br />Going forward, they will be conducting trainings with teachers about having those difficult <br />conversations and addressing uncomfortable scenarios with students. At one point or <br />another many kids have had difficulty with a peer. Two weeks from today, Dr. Wornum will <br />be coming to do a parent workshop at the high school about racism. This will be an <br />engaging experience with a professional who can support the community and parents. <br /> <br />Ms. Stevenson noted we all have our own experiences that dictate our own biases. Her <br />granddaughter told her when she was in middle school, the upper classman were <br />respected, and she noticed that was lacking her last year in school. The upperclassman <br />were not getting the same respect they were giving at that age. Middle schoolers have <br />been impacted by Covid in a way that has affected them socially. Some critical social skills <br />are lacking within this age group. <br /> <br />Jayden Bryant agreed, the underclassman do not have respect for the older grade levels. <br />She recalls being scared and intimidated at that age, but now she feels a lot of times she <br />has to get out of their way while walking in the halls. It seems backwards. <br /> <br />Amna Iqbal commented that time period during Covid was a crucial moment of their <br />development, now their socialization is severely lacking. <br /> <br />Ms. Kent asked if parents are made accountable for their kids actions when these <br />instances happen and are they a part of the whole process, are they involved? She also <br />inquired if students were opening up more once this was all brought to light. <br /> <br />Ms. DeBoer stated yes, sometimes administrators are not always involved, and she herself <br />cannot be every seat. The issue needs to be tended to promptly and thoroughly, so the <br />parents are involved. Of course, there can be some push back or lack of civility. She noted <br />th <br />the 8 graders were participating in an essay contest for the May Town Meeting and the <br />thth <br />theme is civility. She stated there needs to be smaller group work within these 7, 8, and <br />th <br />9 graders. This age group seemed to be affected the most by Covid. There was a group of <br />about seven kids who were the most vocal in seeking support. <br /> <br />4 <br /> <br /> <br />
