[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why doesn't every elementary and middle schools or even the cluster have heritage or international night or even a week and let that be the educational learning the school provides instead of spending so much time on this each month or each quarter. Don't know what they do in HS.[/quote]

What is your school doing? At our ES, some teachers (not all) will talk briefly about someone from the group in question for a little bit in the morning. It's hardly a lot of time, and it's the kind of little thing that gives flavor to a day that's often pretty repetitive. [/quote]

Agreed, I don't think the time spent on cultural heritage stuff is significant enough to be a distraction.  In addition to maybe talking briefly about it in the morning, our kids have typically done something for Black History month where they pick a person and write about them/do a class presentation.  This is in ES. I don't know that our MS does anything specific within the classroom (I assume this is teacher dependent) but both ES and MS have an international fair or cultural heritage night sponsored by PTA where families volunteer to staff a table with information/stuff about their heritage.  The variety is completely dependent on how many parents volunteer.  [/quote]
