You have already set some young minds alight over here in Vietnam...<br />Wishing you all the best,<br />Sanjay Perera<br />BIS Ho Chi Minh City (Vietnam)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846801835840472827.post-76880574646114603502014-05-22T21:04:37.406-07:002014-05-22T21:04:37.406-07:00Great point Ms. Cahusac about the grade sixes, I t...Great point Ms. Cahusac about the grade sixes, I too feel that sometimes they are under estimated and not included, but honestly we didn't have enough bodies to gather any more mentor classes. As it was it was a stretch. We were a bit nervous about even including the grade 7's on account of maturity, but we were all so impressed by how seriously they took. Next time, we will know that we can count the grade sixes too.

The world needs more activists; important causes need more advocates; girls around the world need a louder voice. I hope this simulation can help with all of those things!<br /><br />Clint Hamada<br />Yokohama International SchoolClint Hamadahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17499681186660009536noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846801835840472827.post-79926266388848941042014-05-22T07:57:31.341-07:002014-05-22T07:57:31.341-07:00Thanks for sharing this.

Any reason (other than the obvious - too young) that Gr. 6s were not included? I think they would have handled it maturely and learned a lot, as well as felt like a part of something important (i.e. the entire middle school as a community). There is no criticism tied into my question, just curiosity and my opinion.<br /><br />I especially identified with the lines of this post, "Sometimes to truly empower yourself, you need to demand a bit of power. And if you are not willing to sacrifice something, then perhaps you are not truly committed to your cause." I think this is so important for middle school kids to think about. Especially our kids, who live by a UWC status quo that models service and concern for others as a integral, year-round, continued investment and requirement. Mandatory commitments sometimes override passion and we should encourage them to stop and think about that. We need to help them find what they feel is worth standing up, or even fighting for and nourish that connection. <br /><br />And ruffling some feathers means you've made an even bigger impact. You are a risk taker and I admire that greatly. So do your students. Well done.hkexplorerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04166273860298550427noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846801835840472827.post-50906795657998727672014-05-22T06:22:34.448-07:002014-05-22T06:22:34.448-07:00Thanks Solal for your feedback.

Things can always be more organized, but we were all a bit scared and nervous to tell you the truth. Can we pull this off?! <br /><br />As for the cards that was all Denevi and ChilaJabizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09477762880791981559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5846801835840472827.post-261221008959312932014-05-22T06:20:00.591-07:002014-05-22T06:20:00.591-07:00I enjoyed the simulation.

We were all talking about it. If you want criticism, I think it could have been a little more organised, but it got the message across. (oh, and those little cards were really well designed)<br />Solal Bauerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04558094487141379650noreply@blogger.com
