Summary: We kick off Season 4, "The Real School Life", with this episode about all the drama and challenges that take place in school bathrooms. Our co-hosts share their memorable bathroom experiences (from elementary to high school). We then welcome Principal Elliot Alter (Rockville, Maryland) to share his perspective about what goes on and what changes behavior. This is a lively conversation you do not want to miss!
Our Hosts: Season 4 is hosted by Amy Neugebauer, Executive Director of The Giving Square. In this episode Amy is joinined by our returning 11-15 year old hosts Alona, Jayden, Ismahil, Aofie, Kivaan, and TGS Intern (and high school student) Aleena.
Discussion Prompts:
1: Make sure to listen to the crazy stories our own hosts have about their own experiences associated with school bathrooms. What stories would you tell?
2: During the podcast Aleena introduces the idea of the Bystander Effect. When have you been the bystander? When should you have spoken up?
3. We also touched on the desire to be cool generating a lot of questionable behaviors. When have you done questionable things in order to fit in? Adults - this question is for you too!
The Podcast: "Kids are Philanthropists, Too!" demonstrates that we can all come together to talk about issues that matter to us, no matter our age. This is designed to help us (kids and adults) become more philanthropic in our daily lives. Like the podcast? Spread the word! Get involved, follow and support The Giving Square.
