[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is OP. I wasn’t the person who wrote about snowflakes, but I think it’s wrong to single out one child without warning for using a word they all use. I was especially upset, because rather than eating, my kid was asked to watch a video about people with intellectual disabilities and write a reflection. And yes, this is Bethesda. [/quote]

This concerns my so much OP. Your child used a derogatory term and yes they should have to learn about WHY IT IS DEROGATORY and why it is wrong. The fact that THIS is your takeaway is so concerning. Your takeway of "my poor kid" for 30 minutes of minimal consequence will not help you raise a confident, empathic human that takes responsibility for their actions. And that is your job as a parent. Not to protect them and be worried that they didn't eat lunch one day. I highly HIGHLY doubt your child wasn't allowed to eat their lunch WHILE watching the video on how they used an offensive term that hurts others. That should be your focus. [/quote]
