[quote=Anonymous]I am actually surprised they are teaching anything more recent than 1945. I am a second generation multiracial kid, not Asian. I went to a W school in Montgomery county and never learned a thing about South Asia (or really Asia except maybe some pap about Chinese culture or the Japanese vs Americans in wwii in the most surface terms). I am still probably ignorant as most of what I know comes from small articles and Midnights Children. My advice is to not let the perfect be the enemy of the good. The advice to teach at home and if you have time go to class is great. I would have loved to hear about your family’s history in class. Elementary is too young to understand the complexities of sectarian interactions - what I do know is it is a complex subject. Bring or send food to try. That will make an impression and hopefully create curiosity. Good luck. [/quote]
