[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Waaay to much emphasis on MLK. We are studying European History this year -- so great to study a history where something happens instead of milking the MLK thing to death.[/quote]

I always found it odd that DC's class spent more time on Rosa Parks by far than FDR. [/quote]
My DCs would not even know who FDR is or what he did. Its MLK Day, week, month, year. Now studying European History and so surprised that many people "made history" -- by doing things besides giving a couple of speeches.[/quote]Maybe you should have your kid pick up a book OUTSIDE of the classroom if studying history other than European burns your drawers.

Yes, the most distinctive attribute about American education is that everyone expects that once you step outside the classroom your education ends.  If not read in the classroom then blame the teacher how surprised you are that many other people "made history".  Poorly veiled racist statement made by PP and most certainly one of the most ignorant.  Have your kid pick up a book outside of the classroom now and then.  Geez, the continual dumbing down of America.  [/quote]
