In our state we have to post the 10 Commandments. I am a Christian. For myself, I like that bc I'm a Christian. However, beyond that I feel like this is very dystopian. I have a para that is also Christian and she told my kids that this country was founded by Christians (talking about the Fathers of the Constitution). They were not no matter which way you slice it. Like, yes, sure, they might have been cultural Christians, and our country's laws have roots in the Bible. That does not mean that the forefathers were Christian. Separation of church and state is very clearly written. I am more disturbed by my para constantly trying to talk over me in front of the kids and inserting her very incorrect information, not just on this topic but on many others. She constantly corrects me in front of the kids, which I find rude. Let's say I printed something incorrectly and need to reprint during class, she will say I need to be prepared. Or she'll insinuate in front of the principal that I haven't done work i should do. I have asked her not to do the work and that i need to do it but I'm doing a million different things and will get to it on my time. Out of necessity, I've started correcting her in front of the kids. I don't really like to do it, but the information is so wrong on many different topics. There have been many times where I've wanted to just say in front of the kids, "I really would appreciate it if you stopped disrupting the class. Your information is incorrect and unnecessary. Please stop." But what's the best way to address this? I'm afraid she's going to put her very dangerous ideas into these kids' heads. submitted by /u/Impressive-Basket-57 [link] [comments]
