When we discuss Germany in cultural geography the kids often ask how the people could fall for what the Nazis were saying.

That is when we read, James Clavell's, A Child' Story.

In the span of 1/2 hour the teacher in that story had convinced the small children in her care to abandon all the things they believed.

I recommend the reading to anyone. Truely frightening.

Excellent. They need to know just how easily people can be manipulated... and we must tell them how to defeat it. Critical thinking skills are the most necessary component of any complete education.

I love the way your room sounds!
