[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m AA and a social studies teacher in MCPS. What the teacher did was inappropriate and insensitive. It also seems very random. I’m really curious about what district and school this lesson occurred in. Segregation is not part of the K curriculum in MCPS and I can’t find it in the state standards either. [/quote] OP Here. This occurred in MCPS in one of the language immersion programs. I need to find out more details but I think it was part of a discussion about Martin Luther King, JR. Good point about the curriculum. I will look into that.[/quote] She needs retraining. These incidents happened a lot in the past. In the last five years, the RTs and curriculum specialists have really hammered home: no slave ships, no yellow stars, no “Indian names” and no back of the bus scenarios. It is not hard to address these important events using children’s lit and film. [/quote]
