Title: I'm not sure what to think of my son's school assignment
Post by: RGSG99 on September 03, 2009, 06:51:30 AM

Yesterday my son came home with a social studies assignment.  It was to ask his parents two questions.

1.  Are you in a union?
2.  If you are, how do you feel about it and if you're not, why not?

Am I being totally paranoid here?  These questions kind of freaked me out.  It's not the school's business if I'm in a union or not.

I think I'd use that as the answer...and if your son gets into trouble for it, rain hell-fire down on the school.

If you're not, tell him why you're not.  Be polite and factual.  The poor kids need some sanity to counter-balance what's sure to be a pro-union message from their teacher.

Just my $0.02.

He knows why we aren't in a union and he knows our feelings about it.  I just don't think it's any business of the school's to know if we belong to a union or not.
