[quote=Anonymous]A little historical perspective from a DCPS teacher: Before 9/11 we didn't recite the Pledge. After 9/11, all of sudden we were doing it every morning. We do it now at my school. I personally think the whole morning announcement routine is a waste of time. I would rather just start the teaching and learning. But since we do recite the pledge, I insist that my students stand up straight, put their right hand over their heart, and face the flag. We have a lot of language learners at our school. Reciting the pledge and the motto is actually good practice for developing fluency, oral language and vocabulary. So even though I don't love it, it's not that big of a deal. And I'm an atheist.
