[quote=Anonymous]I'm a high school history teacher, and I'd say that about 1/3 of my students actively do not participate at all. I require all students to be quiet during the announcements, and this silence extends to during the pledge if a student decides not to recite it. Some students keep their heads on their desk, others make faces at each other. Some silent ones stay seating, but most of the non-reciters will stand during it. I personally will put my hand over my heart but will not recite it. One of my classes had an impromptu conversation about patriotism and how people express their love and devotion to America. It was really insightful to hear their thoughts and see their personal political philosophies start to form. I showed them this video that I highly suggest you watch. Pause. Take a moment to think about America and what it is to you and what it is to everybody you may know. [youtube]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_L1vLv84vs[/youtube][/quote]
