I would ask that everyone please keep it civil here and we can continue to have different types of interesting subject matter with differing opinions - The alternative is to only talk about boating and we sure wouldn't want THAT on a boating forum
I apologize if this is political. My reason for this was to try and get some insight from other parents or actual teachers. I like to think we're good parents. If I wasn't I wouldn't be here stressing over this, but I am and I'm concerned. Raising kids nowadays is tough enough with all the drugs, gangs, crappy foreseeable future...all I want is for our kids to succeed. Anytime there's a unexplained curriculum change, I feel the parents that give a crap should be included. If not for a 2nd string teachers aid, but just to feel like we're in the loop.
Snoc has brought up some very valid points and has enlightened me more than my sons teachers or our friends that ARE actual teachers and I thank him for that.
So I guess this is probably not the place to bring up the fact that my nephew is in 7th grade. He's had lessons in school teaching that Muslims are a peace loving group and Islam is a religion of love and peace. My nephew got in trouble for bringing the word God into the conversation. Is this part of the common core curriculum?
