A7 Apartheid Unit (years ago) had 90% of Ss stand on 10% of space in classroom. Talked about resources, disease, health, et al #worldgeochat

A7 (cont.) using it Ss can score school up to 100 pts. Can give school A-F grade on HR. Powerful exercise if facilitated well #worldgeochat

To get Ss to empathize, they have to experience. Like this. https://t.co/VA6HyPi4U5 #worldgeochat

Full Disclosure: I too struggle with separating the urge to “Donate!” w/ true empathy and action, empathy and action are hard. #worldgeochat

You have to! Ss need to know that we can't just throw $ at a problem! Action has to start somewhere! #worldgeochat

#worldgeochat you do have to experience. SS teachers have to have the base normative directive to give examples of empathy

I get it. Our middle schooler and her friends wore the safety pins...didn't want to discourage, but there's more action to do. #worldgeochat

TheSwish Mar 14 @ 9:53 PM EDT

A7 MS Ss often confuse empathy w/ sympathy. Urge is to “donate!”, which is great, but… #worldgeochat

I keep going back to the idea that there isn't a 1 size fits all solution to problems. #worldgeochat
