#RuralEdChat Q4: What is the biggest challenge to helping Ss understand their role as local, global & digital citizens?

ConsultJodi May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Get kids to think outside of their town. Many millennials in my area are so uncultured, it's sad. #ruraledchat

Thank you, Jessica! I'll check it out! #ruraledchat

In reply to @Jessicaraealt, @PenpalSchools

I think so much about school disempowers Ss role in society. They are extremely important and should feel like it! #ruraledchat

In reply to @edventures

LindaAragoni May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

#RuralEdChat A4 I always think in terms of communication, so I'd say idioms are huge problem for international understanding

bivey May 2 @ 9:11 PM EDT

Hi, #RuralEdChat! A4 I think my kids get the local/global thing relatively well - being 35% international, 40% day students helps that way.
