Take a Look at how Tri-State Schools are Teaching Students about the Historic Events that Took Place

Teachers at Heritage Christian School made it a point on Thursday to educate all of their students (Preschool - 8th Grade) about the historic events that took place at Capitol Hill.

A number of tri- state teachers switched gears today-- teaching a much different lesson to their students following wednesday's riots on capitol hill.

44news reporter jake thomas is live in owensboro with that story.

Thanks brian, wednesday will be a day forever remembered, but before this event make its way into our history books, we wanted to see how students in our tri-state were learning about it students here at heritage christian are back to in-person learning and for the most part, it was a normal day for these students math, science, and religion classes all taking place, but in social studies, a brand new historical event was spoken about?what happened yesterday was wrong from start to finish.

As long as the protest was peaceful, it was legit, but the minute it turned violent and people started breaking into the capitol building and breaking the law, it was wrong out of the gate.

It was wrong from the get go?

Hoak said yesterday reminded him of when he was teaching during 9/11 with incredible national news occurring before his very eyes and with this difficult subject, they made sure to teach even the youngest minds at their school about what happened on wednesday.?more challenging with our younger kids, ya know the preschool, kindergarten, first and second graders, and we would talk in general terms to them about it never right to break the law, and god gave us his ten commandments, and what happened yesterday in our nations capitol is that some of those commandments were broken?

And hoak said himself and all the teachers at heritage christian were happy to be back in person to get to more easily explain yesterday events?wee glad that we have our school context in which to address national events like this, and it just a good setting for us to do that?

And hoak said that if your child wasn taught about the events that took place yesterday in school, then it important for parents to educate them.
