Teaching children about current events!

While it is important that children receive unbiased information on current events, we must be aware of how totally unfiltered information can be disturbing to a child. The Penn State scandal is a current event story that must be discussed in a more gentle and age appropriate manner.
The current issue of redistricting our representative districts is, in my opinion,. a wonderful discussion point for students in a social studies setting.
