Our PUBLIC SCHOOL has a flag outside, a flag in every room, and the entire school is led in the pledge every morning.
Same at my daughter's PUBLIC SCHOOL.
If someone doesn't want to say the pledge, they don't have to either.
Questions?
Good for them. That is a great start. However, that teaches them nothing if there is no curriculum behind it, or active promotion of it.
No questions.
Our Social Studies classes teach all about the history of the flag, from the first one on down the line to our present one.
Maybe you should visit some public schools to see what they do, I bet it would be eye opening for you. Teachers and students DO have pride in their country, isn't that great?
So, my question is, What is wrong? Why is it that the students do not know these thnings when they are in High school? I submit to you that we do not have partiotic Americans who care enough to get excited about teaching these things. Last year while I was teaching American Government, I got very excited and into it. I taught it as if it were alive today, and happening today. I suppose that is too much work for our teachers. : (
