Parental Guidance
This class will often pertain to discussions on world religions. Students will study religion's historical, cultural, literary, social, and political development in the US and the world. Discussions on religions will remain objective and factual so parents should be aware that I often ask open ended questions pertaining to questions on world religions or ask students to explain their present understanding of a world religion from history. When posing this questions, learners may share their own personal knowledge of religion and I encourage everyone to be respectful of the ideologies of others.
Certain time periods in history will pertain to genocide, violence during war time, death, human/women rights violations. These topics can be uncomfortable for some learners but I keep the discussions factual and since we work from archived Common Core examinations, the topics of discussion are considered curriculum in most American states.
