[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Fellow Bangladeshi here. If they are teaching about 1947, then it's Pakistan and India. A good lesson plan would footnote that East Pakistan became Bangladesh in 1971. Empower your son with knowledge about Bangladesh's history and have him share with the class. My elementary aged son raises his hand to add supplemental info on topics like Islam, Bangladesh, Pakistan, and India (we have ties to all 3 countries). The teacher has been appreciative and I know other students are learning too bc their parents will mention it to me afterwards. School textbooks suck, especially when it comes to geography and world cultures.[/quote] The problem with parents getting their kids involved is the potential for bias. If it’s current history maybe they are only focusing on India and Pakistan. Teaching African countries is going to be tough enough with all the constant changes. What grade is this?[/quote]
