    Is #metoo only in California? #caedchat

    A1: It has not come up in my classes, yet, but I imagine that it is only a matter of time. #caedchat

    No, but it just came up very recently in response to Hollywood issues and Harvey Weinstein. #caedchat

  • principledlady Oct 22 @ 11:02 PM EDT
    I was not at all surprised to see how many of my colleagues were identifying with #metoo on FB and Twitter. #caedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:02 PM EDT
    A1: Should we, as educators, bring it up? Or maybe should we be more mindful that these things are happening daily? #caedchat
  • ERosenberger78 Oct 22 @ 11:02 PM EDT
    here's an article about it that raises some interesting points https://t.co/6YqPXFtiwj #caedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:03 PM EDT
    Do you have some great #metoo resources you can share w/ educators in #CAedchat? Please leave a comment on the doc https://t.co/RIswUCSRbt
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:03 PM EDT
    A1: I included a link to an article in the resources (see the questions doc), written by a former student. #caedchat

  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:03 PM EDT
    A1: I have been heartbroken at the number of my former students I've seen sharing on #metoo. Some only barely out of high school. #caedchat
  • dmkrabbe Oct 22 @ 11:04 PM EDT
    I work in the lowest ranked school in WV and it has even been at the lowest in the US. Certainly the topic is prevelant here #caedchat
  • K8Applebee Oct 22 @ 11:04 PM EDT
    I think we should be mindful of it and strive to be a place where Ss can trust us with their #MeToo experiences. #caedchat

  • baritoneblogger Oct 22 @ 11:05 PM EDT
    A1: I teach HS & my kids are hella woke & I'm SURPRISED it hasn't come up. We talk about deep stuff -- it's weird we haven't. #caedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:05 PM EDT
    A1: I am concerned that if we DON'T talk about it, it will continue to live in the shadows of our students' lives. #caedchat

  • K8Applebee Oct 22 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    A2: I’m not sure. A friend is teaching her son not to trust women, but I think teaching fear is the wrong way to go. #caedchat (1/2)
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:14 PM EDT
    Fair enough, but -- having been a teenage girl once -- this often makes it worse if there's not a culture of support. #caedchat

    I am hoping we can all do more to help our youngest Ss learn from the start that respect is more important than coolness. #caedchat

    #caedchat. A2 I think the situation can go in either gender direction and we must teach No means No
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:18 PM EDT

    In reply to @scottmpetri, @dormanmath
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:21 PM EDT
    A3: But there WAS a response to what I reported, so that was good. We have more than a micro-meeting where I am now. #caedchat

    #ClassDojo did not respond. The T🍎DELETED the predatory behavior. I suggested #ClassDojo work w/ Authorities to address it. #CAedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:28 PM EDT

    A4: Be there for the person to share their story. Support. Don't get in the way of their feelings. Help others. #caedchat

    We can friend Ss but I think it's too much of a slippery slope. #caedchat

    This format empowers men. Women share in a group despite sharing individually. And men can decide how to share that info. #CAedchat

    It hasn't been too bad at our football games so far. (I go to almost all of them.) But our Ss are sheltered. #caedchat

    Q6 It took me almost 20 years to share with someone other than my husband, it's something that every person must decide #caedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT
    A6: I have found that 1:1 relationships w/ Ss are how the sharing ends up coming my way the most. #caedchat
  • Dowbiggin - Moderator Oct 22 @ 11:53 PM EDT
    Agreed. Very few people know what happened to me. And my life is usually a pretty open book. #caedchat

    Another way to empower men: keep the🤔wife in mind. Is it something that can be shared w/your spouse? Is it to create😱intimacy🤢? #CAedchat
  • principledlady Oct 22 @ 11:55 PM EDT
    Thanks #caedchat. Share some love this week. It is the answer to all that is broken.

    Q6- I think we can let students know it can help others to share their "me too" stories but only if they are ready to share #caedchat

    I think teaching kindness by being kind is a start for Ss to see how we should treat others. Only with kindness can we change #caedchat
