Boston Public Schools 24/7 Respect 2021 Rollout Testimonials!
-
“I think this should be done if not monthly but every semester!”
- Charles Mentos Dean of Students King School
“I was able to have our entire student population participate and it was quite helpful. We had a few unfortunate "Zoom Bomb" issues recently and when I held harm circles with the students many referenced parts of the 24/7 video in reference to the respect that they should be displaying in our community. I believe that 24/7 is very aligned with Restorative Justice.”
- Daniel Donoghue Dean of Students Frederick Pilot Middle School
“Our school is still finishing up the 24/7 Respect week activities. What many of us thought would take one day has turned into a multi-day activity. Apparently our students have a lot to say about the scenarios that appear in the video.”
- Ondrea Johnson Assistant Principal Timilty Middle School
“All 1735 of our students here at Boston Latin Academy participated in discussions of 24/7 Respect. The program transformed students' understanding of what mutual respect is and empowered them to better identify, address and report bias-based and sexual misconduct both in-person and online.”
- Marie Carvalho Assistant Principal Boston Latin Academy
“The curriculum was user-friendly and easy to implement without hours of preparation. The students were engaged from minute one, and I can already see the difference in their interactions with one another.”
- Sarah Quatrale 6th Grade Teacher Mary E Curley School
“The day we talked about the 24/7 Respect video was one of the most interesting and relevant discussions we had this entire school year. I learned a lot, and I noticed that students were very participatory.”
- 11th Grade Student from the Brighton High School
