Stay Connected With Summit Social
During the school year, I have the pleasure of regularly discussing controversial historical and current events with Summit's upper school students. In social studies class, we engage in conversations about race, class, politics and religion - topics that students have often been advised to avoid - with respect, kindness and civility. Even during contentious election years, as some students feel joy and delight while others feel anger or pain, we manage to engage in meaningful dialogue without taking sides. It's not easy - but it's pretty incredible.
