Case: Christmas around the world.
My son goes to second grade. The first week of December my son's teacher started a short unit on Christmas around the world. As part of this unit, she asked each child to bring some type of food from a country for a Christmas celebration at school. She assigned the countries to the children and sent notes to children's homes in their communication folders. As a parent I do not have a problem with any of this. Here is what is puzzling to me. I immigrated to the US about 15 years ago from France. My wife is from Romania. My son was born in the US but he has strong French and Romanian cultural roots. I believe his teacher knows about my son's cultural background. However, my son was assigned to bring German food for the Christmas celebration. As a parent, I cannot understand why he was not assigned to bring French or Romanian food. What could be the teacher's reasoning? Should I be upset about this? Wouldn't it be better for my son to represent a part of his heritage in the classroom?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
While I completely understand why you are confused about this, I do not think that you should be upset. Your son is already very practiced in the French and Romanian Christmas customs, so look at it as a chance for him to become an expert on German traditions as well. This is a great learning experience for him. |

| Comments: The teacher is probably thinking that this is a great learning experience for her students. I think that is the way he should look at the whole situation. |
