RI Laws and Policies FIX

 I connect with the points made in Hannah Kennedy's reflection, especially as someone who wants to be a teacher. We must create classrooms where every student feels safe and included, and I love how the article breaks down practical ways to do that. I’ve also seen teachers handle challenging situations thoughtfully—like when a student uses hurtful language, turning it into a learning moment for the whole class. That kind of response really sticks with kids. I also agree that asking for students’ pronouns and respecting their identities is a simple but powerful way to show that we care. Having access to gender-neutral bathrooms and ensuring all students can participate in activities matters more than people sometimes realize. Honestly, I'll carry with me the reminder about keeping students’ identities private and staying up to date through professional development. This article isn’t just helpful—it’s essential for future teachers like us who want to do better for all our students.
