Seek First to Understand

The conversation started with the reading  of this article in the latest edition of

Scholastic News. 

#HistoryLesson

They couldn't understand why 

African Americans were not

allowed to eat in restaurants with

white customers.  After all this happened routinely, long before they were even born.   

#ClassDiscussion

One boy summed it this way:  

"If we took the skin "off"of you or

I, of anyone at all..... we'd still be human

beings.  So there really is no difference."

#2ndGradeWisdom

Best lesson of the day.....maybe of a lifetime.

Seek first to understand, 
then to be understood.
