What did we notice after reading all of those comments? For one, students were able to have the kinds of polite but meaningful conversations across ideological and demographic divides that, it seems, many adults could not. [Here are our many takeaways, as well as shout-outs to dozens of schools and students.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRh5AMDP4QbAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDEvMTQvbGVhcm5pbmcvMjAyMC1oYXMtYmVlbi1hLXdha2UtdXAtY2FsbC1yZWZsZWN0aW9ucy1vbi1vdXItY2l2aWwtY29udmVyc2F0aW9uLWNoYWxsZW5nZS5odG1sP2NhbXBhaWduX2lkPTU1JmVtYz1lZGl0X2xuXzIwMjEwMTE1Jmluc3RhbmNlX2lkPTI2MDE3Jm5sPXRoZS1sZWFybmluZy1uZXR3b3JrJnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD00OTM3NSZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKX_wDfgFgiiDOn1IbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA) But those difficult discussions obviously didn’t end with the presidential election. Last week we asked students to share their reactions to the riot at the U.S. Capitol, and more than 1,200 teenagers responded. In short, they’re disgusted, angry, fearful and outraged. [You can read a curated selection of those responses here.](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRh5AMDP4QIAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjEvMDEvMTQvbGVhcm5pbmcvd2hhdC1zdHVkZW50cy1hcmUtc2F5aW5nLWFib3V0LXRoZS1yaW90LWF0LXRoZS11cy1jYXBpdG9sLmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9NTUmZW1jPWVkaXRfbG5fMjAyMTAxMTUmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MjYwMTcmbmw9dGhlLWxlYXJuaW5nLW5ldHdvcmsmcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTQ5Mzc1JnRlPTEmdXNlcl9pZD1hYTQ5MWVmN2YxZDk2NGU0OTc5ZmI3ODRlNzRlMDFkN1cDbnl0Qgpf_AN-AWCKIM6fUht0cmlzdHJhbWJhbGR3aW45MEBnbWFpbC5jb21YBAAAAAA~) Last year The Learning Network received over 100,000 comments from students about a range of issues, including democracy, leadership, remote learning and quarantine dating. And we know that countless other middle- and high schoolers are responding to our prompts in their notebooks, on Google Classroom or in class discussions. Gail Stevens, a teacher at Cary High School in North Carolina, told us this week: My students are writing responses to the Student Opinion questions as a monthly writing assignment. I have them keeping track of their submissions in Google Docs, and I can already see growth in their critical thinking and writing skills. Last week’s question about the insurrection at the Capitol opened the door to some amazing discussions … not an easy feat considering we are 100 percent remote right now. We think these daily opportunities for students to share their ideas and engage with other young people around the world on current events topics are critically important — not just to nurture growing writers and thinkers but also to help students expand their worldview and practice the skills of evidence-based civil dialogue.
