[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 310094, member: 1514"] I sent my kids to school on December 7th all set to talk about Pearl Harbor Day and what it meant...blah blah blah. This was in elementary school. It was a huge deal when I was little. Practically a holiday. I had made the boys little fake name tags and US MARINE and little bars and emblems. I told them in age appropriate terms about what happened at Pearl Harbor that day and how it was the start of WWII and how their Papa served. Not a darned thing was talked about! No one asked why they were dressed that way...lol. It didnt spark a discussion. Gee. What a waste of a good opportunity to teach! Kids learn a whole lot more when they can see and hear and talk about something than if it is just words on paper. [/QUOTE]
