I teach 9th grade English. Freshman are still kids most of the time, and they do not really think about what they say or do. I am trying to change that. I have a unit on choices, problem solving, and bullying, and within that unit, we look at the use of the R-word. This year, I found your blog and introduced my kids to Max's story. Today, one of my students told me that last night her mother used the R-word, and she tried to tell her why that was wrong. She said she felt sad because her mom didn't listen. I told her she did a great job and as long as she knew and kept trying to educate others, we were moving forward. So, thank you for your sharing your son's story and for sharing your thoughts on your blog.<br />Karen Connernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-10199988506862788772012-10-25T14:36:36.214-04:002012-10-25T14:36:36.214-04:00I love this!I love this!schlennerfamilyof4https://www.blogger.com/profile/03910128157975858546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-401303964563152307.post-78665167812949322762012-10-25T14:03:28.240-04:002012-10-25T14:03:28.240-04:00Just shared the link to this post everywhere.

Eventually there will be too many of "us" to ignore. My husband changed one person the other day, and he has now vowed to never use that word again. I'm proud of this teacher, and her email made me happy.
