Well...I just finished watching Obama's inauguration with my fourth graders at school and I am somewhat shocked and a little appalled. Now may I remind you that I work in the city and the majority of my students are African American. With that being so, you would think that they would care about Obama and want to watch this historic moment in history........nope. Not my students. A couple made snoring noises, the girls were playing around with each other, my autistic student was jumping up and down giving the thumbs down, and a couple did actually fall asleep. I thought showing them would be an enjoyable, memorable experience. I was wrong. It seemed as if I was torturing them.
