[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]I've visited the Louvre, the Statue of Liberty, Mount Vernon, the Colosseum in Rome, the Sistine Chapel, the Alhambra in Spain....Never been to Jamestown.[/b] Also don't care if my kids' teachers have been there or any places I've been.  As long as they are good teachers and kind people, they are perfectly able to teach history without visiting the places they teach about.  They teach about ancient civilizations just fine without time travel.  Do you just look for things to complain about?[/quote]

OP, do you not realize how insignificant Jamestown is in the grand scheme of things? Truly? I've never been there, but I've been to all the places PP mentioned, and many, many others. I suspect that's true for most of my children's public school teachers.

I plan to go along on the field trip when my kid visits in 4th grade, and that will be the one and only time I go to Jamestown. I would not go otherwise. But then again, I did not grow up in VA with this over-inflated sense of my place and importance in the world.
