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!)
I feel like the teacher gave a great assignment! The purpose is not to familiarize the child with their own culture but research, study, and explore a NEW culture. The child will experience a culture that they have never learned about before. There would be no new eduction for the child if they brought food from their culture. So, I feel that as a parent you should encourage the child to research a new culture to share with the class. |

| Comments: This is a good response because the child will likely learn some very interesting things about Germany that they might not other wise of known. |
