Doctor Francesca

Writing Team
The back to school month is always
a refreshing and exciting time. While wel-
coming new students to the Upper School,
we are also greeting many new faculty
members who just joined our community
in this special fall of 2019. Students have
quickly become familiar with the new Head
of Upper School. She is always sitting in on
different classes, chatting with students in
the courtyard, and announcing “lunch and
bus duty” during Monday meetings. Al-
though most of the students already know
our new and busiest member of the Upper
School, Dr. Francesca has many fascinating
stories that you may have yet to hear.
Dr. Francesca’s multicultural
educational background:
You may be surprised by the dif-
ferent places Dr. Francesca travelled to and
lived in. Studying French and Italian at the
University of Vermont was only a small
portion of Dr. Francesca’s undergraduate
experience. During her junior year, she
spent a year abroad in France and in her
other travels, she picked up Spanish. After
she discovered her passion for learning lan-
guages, she got her first job as a computer
science teacher in Rabat, Morocco. Howev-
er, after a year, she decided to return to the
United States to receive more comprehen-
sive knowledge about education. “I realized
I wanted to be better at this,” she said.
Her ambition drove her to the
University of Oregon, where she earned her
master’s degree in education. Dr. Francesca
has since held a wide variety of positions,
including English as a second language
teacher, IB Diploma Program coordinator,
and principal. Her life-long attitude toward
learning continued as she earned her doc-
toral degree in education from Plymouth

State University. She has dwelled in Aruba,
China, Mozambique, Zambia, and many
places across the United States; teaching
in different schools is always the force that
stimulates her to move. Now, these forces
have pushed her from the American Inter-
national School of Lusaka, Zambia to Saint
George’s, here in Spokane.
Looking forward, Dr. Francesca
doesn’t want to stop learning. She constant-
ly asks herself how she can keep learning,
and where she can go to do this. Next, she
hopes to learn about counselling and the
mental aspects of schooling. “Truly, I think
of this student and what their challenge is…
and how I can support them in life,” she
said. She also expressed interest in learning
more about how we learn what we learn.
She said that in 2019, she strives “to teach
kids how to be resilient problem-solvers.”
When thinking about Saint George’s…
“Students are so friendly and help-
ful in Saint George’s” is the first sentence
I heard about our school. “Indeed, they are
greater and even more friendly than when
I visited Saint George’s the first time.” In
addition, Dr. Francesca believed that the IB
Program at Saint George’s really benefits
students, especially through free choices
on IAs, the EE, and CAS projects. Having
a deeper conversation with her on the topic
would not be too hard, due to her passion
for the IB program. She particularly likes
the free discussion-based classes where
students can be found talking about the
book they read and being truly engaged
in the process. In the end, Dr. Francesca
mainly expressed her eagerness to be here.
The main thing that she asked students to
be aware of: “please check your mailbox!”
You’re checking your school email, right?

Interesting facts and hobbies to
share:
If you had three cats and two
dogs in your house, what would you
call them? Team Twenty Paws is the
name given by Dr. Francesca to her
puppies and cats. It’s a true team, all
with paws! Even with all these pets
around the house, Dr. Francesca is
still able to distribute much of her
time to her other hobbies. She loves
cooking (especially making pasta),

The juniors say goodbye to a dream
By: ALLI DIXON

On August 26th, 2019, the Saint
George’s junior class said goodbye to
one of the greatest privileges of being an
upperclassman. That is why in this issue of
The Round Table, we are remembering the
Junior Parking Lot. Our dear parking lot
was born sometime Pre-Holte but definite-
ly after the invention of cars. What can be
known for certain is that its close proximity
to the Upper School was enjoyed by many
previous generations of Juniors. The life
of this parking lot was filled with many
exciting occurrences, usually in the form of
creating parking spots that do not exist, or
the occasional vandalism courtesy of last
year’s Senior Prank.

Peter Tosh. In addition, Dr. Francesca
loves skiing. She used to teach kids
how to ski, and she really enjoyed
it. “I can’t believe they pay me to do
this,” she remembered. Dr. Francesca
also mentioned her sister, who has
been living in New York City, never
having moved for 22 years. In the
same period, Dr. Francesca travelled
to more than 11 countries around the
world. Something truly remarkable.
At the end of our interview,
Dr. Francesca discussed a personal
Disingenuous Diversity
that informational pamphlets paint
their schools as havens of inclusivity,

diversity feels disingenuous and
self-serving, nothing more than a
means of obtaining clout.

are using diversity as a means of
attaining status and recognition, and
through that process, treating margin-
alized students more as valuable com-
modities than valued members of their
communities. Schools shouldn’t de-
velop diversity because it makes them
look good, they should do it out of a
genuine effort to make their campus a
safe and welcoming environment for
all of their students. As the old adage
goes, “Ally” isn’t a noun, it’s a verb.
When considering diversity, educa-
tional institutions should keep this in
mind.

The Junior lot is succeeded by the “Visitor/

An overview of the grave crisis facing our planet
By: CLARK CHEN
Writing Team
In 2015, 195 countries’ representa-
tives assembled in Paris, signing a contract
with two main goals: to lower the global
temperature to the level below what it was
before the industrial revolution and to lower
greenhouse gases emissions. What led to
this? It’s global warming.
Global warming is a natural phenome-
non caused by the continuous accumulation
of the greenhouse effect, leading to an im-
balance of energy. Ultimately, the massive
usage of nonrenewable energy sources
results in this situation, such as coal and
gasoline. When the heat energy reaches a
certain level, it will transform to kinetic en-
ergy in the ocean. Therefore, typhoons will

The influential teenage activist chagning perceptions of climate change
By: MADDY ROBERTS
Writing Team
Born January 3rd, 2003, Greta
Thunberg is a 16-year old climate activist.
She lives in Sweden with her two parents.
She speaks two languages, often giving
speeches in English. In 2014, she was
diagnosed with Asperger Syndrome (a
developmental disorder). She admits that
the disorder has limited her before, but
she now calls it “her superpower.” At age
8, she learned about climate change and
began wondering why no one was doing
anything about it. She became vegan and
encouraged her parents to be more en-
vironmentally conscious. Together, they

damages to the Earth. The energy will also
lead to melting glaciers, which will raise
the sea level. It will threaten everything
from traffic safety to people’s lives. After
those effects, the heat will vaporize the
moisture in the soil. It will lead to low pro-
duction of cereals and a higher fire hazard.
After seeing all these negative effects
of global warming, scientists offer peo-
ple different solutions that might help to
improve this situation. In the diet aspect,
eating vegetables will save a lot of cere-
als, grains, and water. With no offense to
meat-eaters, animal husbandry increases
the greenhouse effect significantly. Eating
vegetables will bring some positive effects
to Earth. Secondly, buying more clothes
made of natural material, such as cotton

lifestyle choices. Her parents’ willingness
to change gave her inspiration and hope
for the future.
Her impact began in late 2018,
when she began skipping school every
Friday in order to protest. This occurred
after Sweden had its hottest summer in
over 262 years. She held a sign reading:
“Skolstrejk för klimatet,” (school strike for
the climate). Her goal was to demand the
Swedish government reduce carbon emis-
sion in accordance with the Paris Agree-
ment. She protested in front of the Riksdag
(a legislative building). Sometimes other
students joined her, but often she stood
alone. She used social media to spread

released during the production process.
Thirdly, using renewable energy will reduce
global warming. Renewable energy is from
nature, and they are theoretically infinitely
supplied. There are different types of re-
newable energy, such as wind energy, solar
energy, and geothermal energy. In Germa-
ny, 17% of its energy comes from renew-
able sources. Renewable energy keeps us
from polluting the Earth.
We should attach importance to the
problem of global warming because of
its immense dangers. Small changes in
temperature will make a big impact on
the Earth. It’s the only home we have, and
it deserves the good protection from all
humans; just as Wendell Berry said, “The
Earth is what we all have in common.”

called “The Greta Effect” which describes
the arrival of immense support for climate
change reform. Her encouraging words
have inspired people all around the world.
Recently, she made a transatlan-
tic voyage from Plymouth to New York.
She made the journey in a 60-foot yacht
equipped with solar panels and underwater
turbines. The trip was carbon neutral as a
symbol of her intent to reduce emissions.
During her time there, she attended the UN
Climate Action Summit and gave a pow-
erful speech. Greta Thunberg continues to
do amazing and inspiring things, and she
encourages us all to do our part to save the
planet.

The Truth About Trudeau
The Canadian Prime Minister who failed to deliver
By: GABI CUNNINGHAM
Writing Team
In 2015, Justin Trudeau took
Canada by storm with his family’s po-
litical legacy, boyish charm, and vision
for a more progressive Canada. He cap-
tured hearts internationally, somehow
shining through the whirlwind of poli-
tics as a beacon for a progressive world.
After assuming office, he worked to
create the first gender-balanced cabi-
net, pushed through the legalization of
marijuana, created a new child-bene-
fit program, made strides in fighting
climate change by upholding the Paris
Climate Agreement, and appointed
Jody Wilson-Raybould, the first indige-
nous female Attorney General. Most of
those leaning towards the left spend a
substantial period of time in the inter-
national bandwagon of boundless love
for Justin Trudeau because these were
headlines that they heard, painting an
ethereal picture of the newest Canadian
Prime Minister.
When this past September
rolled around, it was uncovered that
Trudeau had worn black and brown

ing down the mighty tower that was

Maybe they can eliminate the smell

that not even the Febreze can mask it.
Maybe flies and mice and other rascals
start to appear. Maybe the pile of trash
starts to encroach onto people’s living
spaces. Maybe the trash ekes into the

perfect would be to ignore the slew of
events that have been steadily com-
pounding over the past years. The most
damaging issue to Trudeau and his
party was something that has come to
be known as the SNC-Lavalin Affair,
named after the Canadian engineer-
ing firm that had been caught paying
bribes to government officials in Libya
to secure business dealings. To keep
the company from losing all federal
contracts for ten years and most likely
going under, Trudeau stepped in and
pressured his Attorney General to defer
prosecution. When Wilson-Raybould
(the first female and indigenous AG)
refused, he had her removed from his
cabinet and ousted from the Liberal
Party. Jane Philpott, the president of
Treasury Board at the time, resigned
in solidarity. Throughout his term,
Trudeau touted his creation of a diverse
cabinet as proof that he was following
through on his promise of racial and
gender equality. The moment that his
members asserted themselves as a force
to be reckoned with, and not just as
something used to check a box for his
campaign, he rendered them disposable.
Alongside the SNC-Lavalin
debacle, Trudeau’s failure to uphold his
promises to the First Nations displays
his lack of genuine commitment to ush-
ering Canada into a new age. Through-
out his career, Trudeau has made it a

This seems nice, but it doesn’t really
make anyone better off. The popular

priority to participate in photo-ops with
and express his support for indigenous
communities and activist groups. And
while his record of doing such shielded
him from significant criticism for some
time, his actions finally overtook the
many years of brilliant PR. The dam
started to crack when his administration
refused to support the United Nations
Declaration on the Rights of Indige-
nous Peoples (UNDRIP), something
that the First Nations were counting on
to protect their sacred land safe from
corporations. The recent approval of the
Trans-Mountain Pipeline, which unsur-
prisingly does exact thing the UNDRIP
sought to protect against, did nothing to
stem the tide of rising opposition to the
Liberal Party.
When Justin Trudeau rose to
power in 2015, he promised that he
would be the champion of those who
had been exploited and cast aside for
years. People believed him because
he said what they wanted to hear and
seemed to be taking steps to make good
on his word. But four years and many
broken promises later, we can see now
that Trudeau never offered a new path
for Canada—he only offered the contin-
uation of the systems that have always
been, but with prettier words and a pret-
tier face.
 The Search for Meaning and Kanye West
By: PAUL DARNALL
Writing
Team
Lately I’ve been lost in thought.
I’ve been deep in meditation on some
of life’s greatest mysteries. What is the
meaning of life? Where do we find it?
What’s our place in the universe? In this
day and age, as old institutions crum-
ble, it can be easy to feel lost. Less and
less people are becoming religious. The
government looks worse and worse ev-
ery day. We are starting to question the
value of the old scholarship. It seems
like more each day it becomes harder to
know where one fits in to it all. So, what
now? Where do we derive meaning
from? Well, I believe I’ve come up with
as good an answer as any: Kanye West.
Kanye West is a great replace-
ment for religion. Religion supplies
many people with their sense of mean-
ing and their understanding of their
place in the universe, but it’s starting to
go by the wayside. People are starting
to not follow religious doctrines, and
who could blame them? The Bible isn’t
nearly as cutting edge or revolutionary
as Yeezus is, the Quran doesn’t resonate
like 808s does, and the Torah simply
doesn’t slap as hard as anything off Life
of Pablo. Besides, every major religion’s
A look into the media’s treatment of Julian Castro
By: CASSIE BENSON
Writing Team
After a recent democratic
debate, the media was quick to attack
Julian Castro for being “rude” and
“disrespectful” to Joe Biden. On the
topic of Biden’s proposed healthcare
plan, Castro asked Biden if he had
forgotten what he said a couple minutes
ago, several times. News media and
Biden supporters were quick to call this
“ageism,” and critiqued Castro, saying
what he did was disrespectful. Why is
the media going after Castro for being
aggressive in a debate? Simple answer,
because Joe Biden is an old white man
and Castro is Hispanic.
An article by USA Today said
“I am a God.” - Kanye
figures are largely elusive. Have you
ever personally seen Jesus? Do you
know where Mohammed lives? Have
you ever gone on the internet to see that
Siddhartha Gautama might drop a new
project this week?

The answer to all of these ques-
tions is likely no. Kanye is something
that everybody can see and interact
with. I can find Kanye’s house on goo-
gle maps. I can experience new gospel
as soon as his album drops. He even
makes appearances on news channels
and Keeping up with the Kardashians.
Instead of deriving our place in the
universe from any major religion, we
should instead look to where we are in
relation to Yeezy.
Kanye West is a better source of
Tone Policing
“Harris and Booker got a pass for
going after Biden, yet Castro is being
walloped. White pundits know better
than to scold African Americans about
race, but they’re not afraid of Latinos,
whom they often treat like their gar-
deners.” Julian Castro did not attack
Biden, he just pressured him, and as a
Latino man, that’s apparently a crime.
The democratic debate isn’t about
playing nice, its about debating policy
and explaining ideas. It’s ridiculous to
expect that Castro should hold the ut-
most respect for Biden, especially when
Biden doesn’t inherently deserve it. The
media tone policed Castro as soon as he
took a jab at Biden, in an attempt to put
the Hispanic man “in his place.”
The media most likely isn’t in-
meaning than any governmental struc-
ture is. Some people find their meaning
from their relationship to their country
of origin and the state that governs.
However, many of us in the US find it
hard to get behind the state; the same
thing is experienced globally. Instead,
we should think of ourselves as vessels
of Ye. Why serve a government that
doesn’t have you in its interest when
you could pledge your allegiance to
Kanye, who loves us so much he gave
us the album “Graduation” (an album
that is far more influential than anything
in the Bill of Rights)? Why be shipped
off somewhere to fight for your country
when could just fight the real fight here
at home and cleanse the Earth of peo-
ple who don’t think My Beautiful Dark
Twisted Fantasy is the best hip-hop
album ever composed? Ask not what
your country can do for you, ask what
you can do for Kanye West.
So, instead of looking to any of
the old, outdated institutions that folks
use to for their place in the universe,
look to somebody with 21 Grammy’s
and an unlimited supply of Yeezies.
When confronted with life’s greatest
questions, we must always respond with

tentionally racist, but they have precon-
ceived biases against Hispanic people,
especially those that are assertive and
confident. This is just another way the
media degrades Hispanic people. This
becomes largely evident when looking
at how the media covered Elizabeth
Warren being aggressive towards John
Delaney. There is nothing wrong with
her doing that, but why is she praised
while Julian Castro is shamed? The
reason is summed up simply by USA
