Good luck with this. It is terribly important we talk about this with our kids. Is it any coincidence that every time this anniversary rolls around, we have more plots being uncovered, unless they actually get carried out? We can do this without scaring kids. We need to talk about PEACE. We do a lot of teaching about war. It's time to talk about the alternatives.
It was depressingly hard to have a serious discussion. It took me getting deathly serious and harsh (which is not my style) during discussion. BUT. eventually. A few heard the message and it did crack a door that I don't think had ever even been unlocked.
A public school teacher who loves the idea of public school...but is more than a little concerned with the direction of the education establishment. Older teachers call me a crusader, younger teachers call me bitter and angry.
