[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I was at a PTA meeting last school year (at an MCPS ES) and a woman complained to the principal that the variety of the teaching regrading Black History Month wasn't enough for her preference. For full disclaimer: that parent is black; I am white. I don't quiz my kids on what they are taught on the "non" math/reading stuff, but know they get into Martin Luther King and the Civil Rights movement. This particular woman's words were something like "My son says it's the same thing, every year. We need to add to the program! We need to get kids more into the history!" She obviously didn't think the school did enough to teach new things.[/quote] Some MCPS elementary schools hold a wax museum event during Black History Month. I think it's put on by the 4th graders and can be a fantastic interactive vehicle for the whole school community to learn more about important and often lesser-known historical figures. [/quote]
