[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would have liked our kids to have had more discussions in their classes about the election IF the discussion could have been held to general parameters without any bias towards or against one party or the other. Unfortunately I think that's pretty hard to do. So my husband and I had discussions at home about it with the kids. In the end it all worked out. It is a shame because there is so much that is interesting and exciting. Unfortunately the vitriolic turn that our society has taken over the past 5-6 years has really undermined anyone's ability to have a rational discussion about such an important topic.[/quote] +1. Civics is hugely important, way too many citizens are ignorant of how our system of government works. Teachers can stop classroom conversation about particular issues or candidates while teaching the framework of our system and also how elections work, and so on.[/quote]
