Challenge Day Makes Difference for High School Students

High school students from across the country have started down a path toward understanding their own school community and the power of words and attitudes and it has made a difference toward racism, discrimination and bullying.

The program, known as Challenge Day, was on Oprah last night (Jan. 1, 2008) and I found it very interesting to hear these high school students pour out their souls and their pain, and begin to understand how their behaviors and attitudes can drastically affect others.

If you are a teacher, then I suggest you watch that Oprah episode and watch the videos online. Together, real teachers and administrators – good ones – can help create a better school environment so students can learn.

All it takes is two committed teachers or administrators to get the ball rolling.
