all I can say is - wow
and, I would've felt a little excited too - if your kid was excited
I agree with some - the first sheet doesn't seem as big a deal - but what the 2nd one implies is amazing
I could see it being just an exercise to make a kid think about how they would react in a new situation - I really could
but still - it's a much more interesting choice of examples when you match it to what your teacher is actually saying to the kids in person
on the whole discussion of disclosure, I always wonder just how would it happen - all at once - or dissemination?
if the public is being made aware that their local firemen are in fact trained in handling crashed UFOs, then I'm guessing it's all going to trickle
in to our awareness

if they ask your child to actually think about it - that's all it takes
because once she considers it - especially from a personal involvement point of view - she's less likely to be shocked if something actually
happens
and - I actually think that's a good idea - for all of us
the disclosure topic is huge - but this is about your own child and her teacher
if she's just an individual with an interest and her own agenda - I wouldn't be happy at all - even if she's sincere and well intentioned
even if she actually knows something
because since you believe disclosure is coming - you still have the right as her parent to discuss these sorts of things with your own child the way
you would like to discuss it - you know her
when I was just about her age - I had a teacher who locked the classroom door, made us all sit around him in a circle - made us promise not to tell
our parents what he was going to tell us - because it was special information just for us - a secret
he then proceeded to explain that evolution was wrong - and about Adam and Eve - continuing on all the way to a nice talk about which races were OK -
and which definitely weren't
there's so many ways to look at that - and I'm not tryingto start a debate about Creationism vs. Darwinism
the fact of the matter is - it wasn't his place to teach personal views to his students
but then, if the teacher is doing what she's been asked to do - where do you even start?
obviously something bigger is going on
