Parental Guidance
As we explore historical figures and events in class, it's important to recognize that history can be complex, and we may never know the complete truth. Different perspectives existed at the time, and some details may have been lost or altered over the years. I strive to present a balanced view by sharing the perspectives of various people from that time period. My goal is to help students understand history through multiple lenses, so they can gain a broader and more thoughtful understanding.
