Olivia's Family Cutlure

Olivia taught us about honesty. Olivia has always been open and honest about herself, her life and her opinions. She is the perfect balance between frankness and sensitivity. When sharing about her run ins with the family law, she shared how, when and why she earns consequences for breaking family rules. The class joined in with their conflicts with family cultural expectations. Olivia made it clear, most of the time, it is not worth breaking the rules. Some of her friends in kindergarten did not agree. Hmmm. This discussion continued during writing, lunch and into the afternoon.
