As you are likely aware, midterm elections are fast approaching. This year is especially strange because of the seemingly ill-willed nature our political system is stuck in. We will, as a class, begin to look at some of the major issues as it relates to our community, our state, our country, and our lives. I will be presenting the facts and information as it relates to these issues, refraining from presenting my own opinions or biases because my role is that of providing the information; students are supposed to be developing their own set of beliefs.
Feel free at anytime to discuss with your child the current political landscape, especially as it relates to issues of extreme importance to you/your family. Know we will cover some of the conversations you have and it might look different than at home. Regardless of political leanings, our discussions will be based upon respect for each other’s voices and opinions, no matter how much we might disagree. I encourage you to foster that same mentality when speaking with your child so they may form their own opinion as well.
