Would your kids know the national anthem?

I would have said no, but my 9 year old was randomly singing it at breakfast this morning. Must have learned at school!

My kids know the national anthem and pledge of allegiance of both our country of origin and US.

"I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America; and to the Republic for which it stands, one Nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all."

"India is my country and all Indians are my brothers and sisters.
I love my country and I am proud of its rich and varied heritage.
I shall always strive to be worthy of it.
I shall give respect to my parents, teachers and all elders and treat everyone with courtesy.
To my country and my people, I pledge my devotion.
In their well being and prosperity alone, lies my happiness."

That’s really nice.

If only it were true

I’m old so we used to say it every morning in school. I knew it stopped at some point but I’m not sure when. Do any of you know when schools, in general stopped it as a practice?

That's weird. At my kids' public school, students recite the Pledge of Allegiance every morning. We are in suburban New England.

Why are you on DCUM if you live in New England 😆

People move, dumdum.

Kinda weird to keep coming back to DCUM. Get out and explore your new home and its own trolling websites 😆

DCs learn it in choir in public school.
