My teenage students appreciate having daily access to pimple patches, bandaids, Tic Tacs, deodorant, Chapstick, pads, and snacks. They also make use of stress balls and grip strengtheners to relieve tension and channel their physical energy. Students spend the entire school day indoors and sitting for 95% of the time, so the ability to exert some energy while learning is extremely helpful. \r\n\r\nLikewise students love the phone charging stations. Students (understandably) chafe at having to surrender their phones when they enter class (school policy). Being able to charge their phones while they are inaccessible to them is a small but meaningful gesture that numbs the sting of turning in their property. \r\n\r\nLastly, the flags I have hanging in my room communicate that everyone is welcome, seen, and respected. It is a powerful counter to the messages of exclusion that they experience all too often out of school. On the first day of school this year, two students were taking proud pictures of each other standing before the Haitian flag in my room. Days later, a student I don't teach walked into my room between classes because he couldn't believe there was a Vietnamese flag hanging in his school. He has been in the U.S. for five years, and this is the first time he's seen one in school. Tri and I now have a relationship by virtue of this flag. \r\n\r\nI can't overstate how much it means to me to be able to offer these touches of humanity to my students, who are the most amazing people.
