Both of our schools (Es and ms) just play a video of a kid saying it during the announcements. No one else says it.

I never once said the pledge growing up - in private school - and yet, I am a good American.

The best part of online schooling was not having to say the pledge to start the day. It was a battle to keep kids quiet, awkward for the the 1-2 who actually wanted to say it, and just creepy to hear the roboticness of it all.

Now being back, kids just sit quietly during it and it's much better.

The pledge is very 1930’s Germany. I don’t say it.

I don’t need to model being a patriot robot for the kids. They have agency to do it or not and so do I

I hate doing the pledge but I do it to middle it for the kids. If a kid doesn’t stand I don’t say anything as long as they’re quiet.

I say good for the teacher! It’s a ridiculous tradition to a piece of fabric. And for the last couple of decades, there’s not been too much to be proud of. Better to teach kids to think critically, acknowledge our country’s past misdeeds and begin to fix the future. Then when we say liberty and justice for all it really means something.
But, but, ‘Murica...

Many people don't believe in saying the pledge. I don't recite it as I do not believe we are one nation UNDER GOD. It would be disingenuous for me to stand and recite it. I have two kids - one chooses to recite it and the other chooses not to (she does stand for it, though, but that is her choice).

I recite it but omit the "under God" as it was originally intended.

LOL. Who cares. I don’t either. It’s really weird we are expected to do this every morning. The minute of silent is enough.

I once had a 7th grade history teacher, who was also my homeroom teacher, threated to "kick my ass" when I didn't stand. I think I got detention, but he never did kick my ass.

We haven’t said the pledge all year. Somehow democracy didn’t crumble despite the far right’s best efforts.
