I guess I will write about diversity day whoops i mean community day...

I will have to admit I was more impressed today than I was with previous diversity days. I am going to refer to it as diversity day from now on because I kinda feel like community day is a just a cop out for whatever really is going on. I enjoyed the rubber ducky small group activity, i definitely didn't want to share mine with my group or the entire school but it was interesting where people actually went with there poems. In my group some kids actually got really deep and stayed "real" as Dooley referred to it and others basically blew it off. We also had a really meaningful and intelligent discussion regarding the two pieces about the Holocaust. I don't really think that our discussion was exactly relevant to the general theme of the day but it was really interesting and introspective. The speaker was alright I guess just very redundant and I don't see why we needed to listen to the same guy talk about the same things twice, but that is just me I guess he was entertaining and somewhat woke the crowd up. I like the idea of having these days but I still don't feel like the execution is all there yet. The movie the juniors watched was kind of out there and to be honest the activity we did after it was unproductive. I am also not sure whether the last 3 weeks of school is the appropriate time to spend a day not in class. Finals are approaching, projects deadlines are coming up, and I know personally I would rather be doing productive things in class. I feel like the attitude of the diversity day needs to change, because so many kids mock and ignore what is trying to be accomplished a lot of the day goes wasted. I am not really sure what changes need to be made but this years is better than last so I guess we are getting there.
