I've been a Para for 10 years and WOW, the amount of times I've heard my first graders say the n word this year is insane. Prior, Ive heard it a few times from middle schoolers but never the little ones. My site has a zero tolerance for it and you get written up and sent home. One boy in my class was sent home 3 times last week for it. Every time his mom says she "doesn't know what to do with him." This year has been the worst. That feeling when a black student comes to me and says "they called me a ni__er" just breaks my heart. How do you manage? What can be done? I feel so helpless.

Don't reward them by letting them go home lmao.

Every time he says it, make him miss an hour of video games or outdoor time and instead have him engage with educational resources about racism. I'm not even a parent and I know that this issue needs to be nipped as early as possible, especially before he gets to middle or high school where his black classmates are less likely to cry about it to an adult and more likely to beat the shit out of him.

Hopefully he goes to a white school. Also ever notice how teachers are fine with chimps out over the BIPOC word, but not over speds attacking or sexually assaulting people?
