[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I find it interesting that 1st grade kids don't seem to know and understand more about what is happening with the election (especially 1st grade kids in DC).

In my child's class - almost all of the 1st grade kids are very well versed in what happened and why (and several people are working on the campaign for HRC or similar equal rights projects).

Perhaps you all are not really from DC but out in VA and MD?[/quote]

[b]Us bumpkins out in VA and MD and our bumpkin kids.  We don't really understand elections or how they work.  WHATEVER.[/b]

I consciously chose all along to focus on educating my first grader about the process.  I didn't make any demeaning comments about either candidate.  So my 6 year old wasn't crying this morning.  We talked about the outcome and how lucky we are to get to vote and live in a place with peaceful power transitions.  I said we didn't vote for Trump, but sometimes your candidate wins and sometimes they lose.

That's what is age appropriate and I honestly feel that people that share much more than that with kids at this age are bad parents.  Talk to your friends about how much you hate Trump.[/quote]

:lol:

Some people seriously can't talk about anything without mentioning that they live in DC in every other sentence. [/quote]
