[quote=Anonymous]I'm a white mom. When my DD was in 3rd grade, her deskmate (who was also white) wrote the N word on her paper. DD told me. I immediately emailed the teacher to tell her, and it was addressed. At this age, kids often don't know what they're really doing or saying, and the deskmate (whose father was a preacher!) needed to be told that it was bad. DEskmate had to write a note of apology to my DD, which I didn't feel was necessary, but it was clear the classroom teacher (with help from the school counselor) addressed it in a comprehensive way.
