I disagree.Role playing in lessons can really make it more real and the lesson sticks.The thing is she needed to contact all of the parents fiirst and inform them of what she had planned and why then get permision slips.Then with the participating children she needed to use a lottery system for what each was going to play.Whether slave holder or abolishiist, slave or freeman.There were many options she could’ve used.She just went about it all the wrong way.
And I can understand that. However, wouldn’t a little role playing about the slavery of communism be a little more appropriate as well as timely these days? Unfortunately, most of the clowns teaching in our schools these days wouldn’t want to see that lesson plan out there floating around, IMHO.
The next time the teachers does this she needs to remember that there were thousands of black slave OWNERS in this country. There were even some black men who were slave breeders. They sold their own children into slavery.
She needs to also remember that it was blacks who sold other blacks into slavery in Africa. How else did the slaves get into slavery? The sailors on the ships were not going into the jungle to get them.
