This is a quotation from the BBS in the USA. I think he/she is good teacher and Their kids are got a good opportunity about American history. but always complaint is made things to be s*cks. Think about it. Quote; I teach 4th grade and we learn about taxation without representation. I used to do an activity where every student brought in 100 pennies. Over the course of a few days, students would have to pay taxes on things like using the pencil sharpener, worksheets, using the door, etc. After a few day, I would have a good amount of money in the tax jar on my desk. Well, I would empty it and then bring in donuts for myself and the other grade 4 teachers. We would all stand in the hallway in the morning eating the donuts and telling the 4th graders how tasty they were and sarcastically thank them for the donuts that were paid for with their taxes. So, of course, the students would get really peeved. They would then write their declaration of independence from the 4th grade. We would then celebrate their new freedom with a pizza party at lunch which is where the money would actually be used. I dont do this activity anymore because I had some parents that are too stupid to figure out they chipped in a buck toward a pizza party for the class that I then put in about 20 bucks in to pay for. They went to the school board accusing me of stealing from students and demanded I be fired. So, dont do that one now, but I sure miss those donuts.
