[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not a Seaton parent but I am so relieved to hear the school/community is demanding action. There was a thread asking about this several months back and the majority of responses were like “this is harmless, it’s a teachable moment.” No, a homeless camp within arms reach of an ES is not a teachable moment; It’s a recipe for disaster.[/quote] Seaton parent here. Hearing about the gun was a tipping point. I think it has a lot to do with feeling empathy for the homeless during the pandemic year and not being directly affected bc kids were not in person. More in person kids + guns -- action happened very very quickly.[/quote] I'll also add that I feel like the Seaton community is a pretty compassionate bunch, and the IB group is extremely economically diverse... We have millionaires and we have students who are dealing with homelessness themselves. So finding the right words and actions took some thought.[/quote]
