Today we watched the inauguration, and it was a great experience to see so many kids engaged in politics. Because of the schedule, we had only 25 minutes per class, so we did a little getting ready for the district tests which will happen tomorrow and Thursday.
Of course, I try to keep partisan politics out of the classroom, but I think it is worth mentioning how incredibly lucky we are that our country can have a peaceful, orderly transfer of power. In many if not most places around the world, when one leader is replaced with another there are usually a large number of people killed in the process. We just changed the most powerful position in the most powerful country in the world in a safe and sane way. Regardless of who you voted for, we can all be thankful for that.
