I don’t do that...I give’em hell the whole time. My son’s kinder teacher is having Winter Holidays Around the World and when I bucked up about this in an e-mail that the room mother got wind of she said there’s no reason you can’t cover America. I chose to do Delaware Crossing as it occurred on Christmas Day. Had planned to get a set with a boat and place for the kids to do pretend rowing,sound effects,wear a beat up colonial militia costume,bring in dry ice and a live lobster. Printed the famous painting for kids to see and ref...discuss.No effort was spared in my mind to get across to kids the incredible odds and effort of obtaining their country.
Teacher e-mails that I can’t set up beyond the classroom and did not see a correlation with the theme. I then proceeded to lay out the toxic philosophy of multiculturalism. We will see if she responds.Let her know that I believe that Americans DO HAVE A CULTURE!
It’s your choice, to homeschool or to be super involved at school, supply extra tutoring, etc. Personally I feel homeschooling is the easier of the two options, aside from the other benefits, but I know involved parents can counter much of the garbage being presented in schools.
Still, I just don’t see why I should bother doing that when I can teach ‘em better myself.
