OK - I'm completely new to the posting thing. I am not sure I am putting this in the right place, but here goes! Learn something new every day.
One standout from the "Up Against Whiteness", by Lee article was that so
many Hmong students both "Traditional" and "Americanized" at UHS, felt
so disconnected from faculty and staff. There was a chronic truancy
problem, but the basis for students being late had many other layers to
it.
I couldn't help but feel that if the school looked at the
problem systematically they could create a more accepting and trusting
environment for all students would possibly alleviate some of the
truancy issues. Hence, leading to a better experience for the students.
This
feels like a lofty aspiration, but even starting with an Advisory
program, or small groups in which faculty and staff could get to know
students better, would nurture a healthier environment.
