^^ yeah it's crazy, no way should they be discussing that. And don't get me started on all these video games, every game is just shooting at people and it seems like every 10 year old boy plays these things, and the parents don't care.
i realized a long time ago that the public school system is primarily a bunch of pro-government propaganda with a little bit of education mixed in

I would rather my kid have your teacher then Milwaukee Mike's teacher
Chop, I think it all depends.
I was told today they held these discussions in several classrooms and in one classroom there was a kid who had a brother who was killed by an IED in Afghanistan. When the kid heard this, he broke down big time thinking about his brother.
It's not their place to have this discussion with our kids.
Come on folks.
When I was in school the space shuttle blew up with the school teacher.
My school freely talked about the school teacher dying.
Why are so many people offended by the truth?
There is never anything wrong with telling the truth.
Quit underestimating 8 year olds.
They are a whole lot smarter then most of you give them credit for.
I remember how smart I was when I was 8.
When you lie to young kids this makes them distrusting of you later on in life when trust is of the utmost importance.
Never lie to child.
Sometimes they are smarter then you.
And they can tell when they are being lied to a lot more often then you think.

Do you have any kids? If so, have they ever asked you about death?
The truth is it's my job as a dad to talk to my kid about a very serious event in our country involving death. I should be the one to relay the message the way I want him to hear it. It should not come from an educator that innocent people lost legs due to a terrorist's bomb.
yes and yes
And yes I left no truth out.
And when she asked me if Santa was real I said no he is not.
I refuse to knowingly tell my child a lie.
You would be ok with an educator telling your child in a classroom setting that 20 kids were murdered in Newtown, CT?
Your kid comes home shaken and tells you they don't feel safe and you would accept someone else telling your child about that incident?
What educational value does talking about the Boston Marathon Bombing bring to my child in a classroom?
Yes I would be ok with it.
I would be more then ok with it.
I would encourage it.
The education value would be the kid gets to learn that life is not always great. There are some bad people out there.
The sooner they learn this the better.
