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?

I hear the n-word from students more often now than I did in the 70s. It's kinda fricked up.

:#marseyhappytears:

I had a student who used it as a synonym for "guy" or "man" and used "b-word" as a synonym for "girl" or "woman." It's was absolutely exhausting to not only listen to all class period (thank goodness it was high school, but block scheduling so that was still over an hour every day) but trying to redirect and educate her on why people might get offended....I would go home and just lie on my bed for an hour in silence to recover every day

It's time to have an African American speaker come speak to the class about something relevant to their current lessons and then ask them if they would have a words to share with them about topics like racism and usage of the N word.

"Martin's Big Words: The Life of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr" is a book that was used frequently in both states I was a part of education for lessons on racism and the history behind it. Maybe it's possible to have that sort of lesson go on? Though with the current political climate, I don't really know how that would go for you.

I'm not sure 🤷🏻‍♂️ back in the day I would've just whipped the book out and started in on the teaching moment. But it's not "back in the day", anymore.

/u/UnoriginalJ0k3r you might as well just whip your little peepeelet out and start stroking it. It serves the same purpose and will have the same effect on how often they say BIPOC

She says it so much I don't even notice it anymore. Last week in lunch, she says to a classmate "Can a neighbor borrow a french fry" and my first thought wasn't "Oh my god, she said it, the n-word" but "How is a neighbor gonna borrow a french fry? Neighbor, is you gonna give it back?"
