[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]George Washington and the cherry tree, Betsy Ross and the American flag, etc. Reading some preschool materials for this holiday and I am just discouraged by how little fact is involved with early U.S. history. The myth teaches a lesson, sure, but what a lot of time wasted on crap when it could have started out as small facts built upon over time. Instead, we get these myths from which point when the kids get older, they realize it's all been a lie, and their worldview is shattered. I don't understand why we can't just teach the world as it is.[/quote] my kid was never taught any of this -- don’t know where you are getting that.[/quote]
