FACEBOOK FEEDBACK

With Remembrance Day approaching, we asked teachers via Facebook about the importance of the event and how they make it relevant for students today.

We study the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms in my classroom (Grade 6). I propose a world in which none of these existed and we talk about what that would look like and why someone would choose to stand up for those freedoms by going to war. It’s a sombre conversation but meaningful.

If we don’t learn from the past we are doomed to repeat it. I can’t believe this is even questioned.
