[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I noticed the school decline thread was closed. I assume because people were bickering but I think it's helpful to keep track of the topics that were taught pre COVID and post COVID. It's not just colonial day but other topics as well. We need to make sure that our kids are being taught the same topics as their older siblings and not just sitting on screens all day watching videos.[/quote]

DCUM is probably not the best place to get a real feel of school.  My kids are not on screens all day watching videos; my kids know how to write, do math, analyze, and comprehend what they are learning.  Some content is on video, but it's appropriate.  As for Colonial day, kids do learn about Colonial history, they just aren't acting it out because doing so ignores what Colonial Day means to Native Peoples, etc.  I am from Oklahoma and we used to "celebrate" the Land Run, which is basically when the U.S. Government took the last bit of land from Native Peoples.  Even back then (40 years ago), I thought it was horrifying.[/quote]

Boomer Sooners is who Okies are.

And when you talk about taking land away from the American Indians, well, yes, they weren't Americans then and only became citizens in 1924.  [/quote]

So that makes it better? You guys just “out” yourselves as idiots.[/quote]

I outed myself as an American.  Maybe you want that to mean something else?

I am not from Virginia but I am aware that Virginia was one of the of the original 13 colonies.  That is a good thing.  Kids should know that too.[/quote]
