It is important for us to teach and model to students the importance of apologies. Apologies help to foster empathy, accountability, and emotional intelligence, and transforming mistakes into opportunities of growth. The steps to making a good apology are 1. Give Eye Contact, 2. Recognize what was wrong, 3. Own your mistakes, 4. Work it out, 5. Think about your actions.

This is a game that has become popular among students. What is roasting? "Roasting" involves using witty, sarcastic, or insulting jokes to tease someone, often focusing on their appearance, families, actions, or quirks. While sometimes students may intend this to be harmless or good natured, it can frequently blur the line into mean-spirited teasing or verbal bullying with the goal to gain laughter, attention, or popularity. The excuse "it is just a joke" is often used in hopes of avoiding consequences. Please talk to students about how this can be hurtful and that they should try to avoid taking part in this game.
