Reply #21: Is he in first grade? [View All]

Not that it matters very much, but I was just wondering. He could also be in either kindergarten or second grade, too.

I doubt they bring op the Oklahoma City bombing on April 19th to first graders. It's just not something they can fully grasp at that age. I feel the same applies to what took place on 9/11, even with the constant media hype most small children don't really care yet. It really isn't an issue that a young child's brain can process and understand.

I know my neighbors son, who is 5, isn't even permitted in the room when the news is on yet. I'm not sure if he will be by next year, but right now if his kindergarten teacher were to have done something such as that his mom would not be pleased.

I think the teacher was out of line in presenting this issue to such young children. It's should still be up to the parents at that age to explain such acts.
