[QUOTE="flutterbee, post: 118239"] When I was in the 6th grade I lived in upstate NY. The pledge was played over the intercom every morning (as it was through all my school years no matter where I lived) and we stood up for it with our hand over our heart. However, kids were allowed to sit if it went against their beliefs. There was no missing recess, etc. That was my first experience with kids doing that. I understand where you are coming from, T. But, at 6 years old what is she really questioning? I don't mean that in a snappy way, I'm just wondering if at the age of 6 if she's really questioning the words behind it (cause at 6, I thought the words were 'for witches stand') or if she's objecting to it being different than it is at home. I'm all for standing up for your beliefs and having things explained. I think, also, there is a lot of value in seeing how the rest of the world does things. Respect on both sides, Know what I mean??
