US History question
Posted: Fri Jul 25, 2008 8:54 am
I have been homeschooling for over a decade, but I have a new situation this year. My son is in the Marine Corp, has been to Iraq and will probably go back.
We are doing US History this year (I have 3rd, 4th, 6th, and 9th graders). I have always taught history with living books, but every children's book I have looked at for the periods of WWI, WWII, etc. have someone's brother, father, or other family member being killed or missing in action.
With their brother in the service, I am not sure if it is appropriate to have them reading this right now.
Any suggestions or opinions on this!
Thanks for your input.
