FCPS confirmed that this was an idea they were going to use in an English class but then decided that making a game out of identity privilege wasn't the way they wanted to go. I am all for understanding privilege but the fact that our kids are barely getting an education in basic grammar as it is makes me think that teaching identity in school is a distraction we don't need right now.

Citation from a credible source?

Do your own research - there is literally a Tweet from FCPS announcing that they’ve pulled this.

This is why conservative sites have a folllowing. Why isn't this being reported in MSM? Why didn't Natanson (WAPO education reporter) report about the offensive/racist emails between two SB members? etc. )

Just because you disagree with a website/newsletter/whatever, when documentation is presented, you should do a little more research--instead of saying it is not credible. The fact that FCPS tweeted a response kind of gives it credibility.

“Do you own research”? You sounds like a Q clown.

You made the claim. Back it up.

I didn’t start the thread. I read about and saw the FCPS statement last night. You can find it on your own.

No, that’s how misinformation spreads. If you make a claim, back it up with a legit source.

Yes, some of those are due to us having worked hard, but others are due to the color of our skin, sexual identity, religion. No control over those. I teach my kids to have empathy towards classmates/ peers who have to overcome more obstacles to “make it” in this society. I also point out that most people on this planet are way worse off than we are here. I agree with this kind of lesson. I hope it teaches my kids to be more grateful for what they have been given in life. Would Jesus say, “Too bad, so sad, you got stuck living with a poor, brown/black, single parent.”?

But wouldn't you agree that it's your job as a parent to teach them empathy and gratitude? I do. My job as a parent is to turn my children into good people. It is the job of the school to teach them english, math, and so on.

So is this the root of the “CRT” issue for Republicans?

They don’t want schools to teach anything related “being a good person”?

Empathy
Gratitude
Honesty
Responsibility
Respecting others
Etc

I guess they don’t want their own kids to realize they are a-holes.

It’s like the old lesson that you don’t build someone up by tearing down others has been tossed out the window. The whole focus is on tearing down people perceived as “privileged”. That will not lead to good outcomes.

What happened to building self-esteem? It's been some years since I taught, but that used to be the big push. I believe self-esteem is extremely important to kids who are in school.

If you tell your kid that he won't be able to do something because the cards are stacked against him--how hard do you think he will try? Sure, there may be some who see it as a challenge--but that is not the norm.
I've seen kids quit sports because they aren't "good" enough to win all the time. Self-defeating attitude.

No good is coming from this. I sometimes wonder if a lot of the crime in DC is the result of victimhood.

No child benefits from being told that he is a victim. As for the privilege, that needs to come from home. Making kids at school feel guilty because of privilge is not helpful. Gratitude for privilege is one thing--but these games are teaching guilt.

They are not teaching gratitude. They are creating guilt. There is a big difference.

It is also not helpful to the less privileged. Being told you are a victim is self=-fulfilling.

Also how do you win? The person who covers the most squares? What is the assumption here that only white lids grow up in stable 2 parent homes with college educated parents who go to work? This is example of why I don’t back any of the CRT type lessons. They are so bizarre and random but white democrats love it bc it makes them feel woke. Imagine being the non white kids during these classes?

If better more accurate history books are needed, the. get those but skip these nonsense lessons.

The military kids in Oakton are likely to be children of officers.

And college is basically taken care of for them. That's huge. [/quote]

This shows your ignorance. Please explain how it is "taken care of for them."

Where in this exercise was anyone told they were a “victim”?

And recognizing privilege is not “guilt”.

Do they realize that kids lose parents and family members because death happens? It’s like telling a kid well if your parent died due to a car accident it was because you clearly weren’t privileged enough. It’s sad that so few can actually stop and think about how kids might perceive these lessons.

Don't underestimate the impact of losing a parent or a sibling on a child. My mother lost her dad when she was a young teen. She's never gotten over that loss. Same for my cousin who was the about the same age when she lost her dad.
