[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Florida schools still do it in K-5. Private and public, we had kids in both, then moved here.

I think that history books have been pretty scrubbed since my school days plus lots of revisionalism going on plus what kids read in the mass media.

Knowing the pledge - or any U.S. history as is - is going the way of the dinosaurs. Plus many who live here were not born/raised here and don't care about [b]baseball, March madness, hot dogs, U.S. history, etc.[/b] [/quote]

What a way to define American cultural identity.[/quote]

There is no sense of identity nor belonging nowadays. [/quote]

There's plenty. It's just that hot dogs aren't a major component.[/quote]

It depends on your community.  We moved to a smaller area - out of Mo Co.  Sense of community centers on parades, local farmers' market, family-run businesses, schools on one compound, generations of families staying in the community, and plenty of successful graduates who move into exciting careers. So yes, a good hot dog is a staple for certain events.

In Mo Co, there was no sense of community, especially for my kids b/c the schools were too big, and the split articulation divided communities.

no thanks[/quote]
