Social studies teachers across the United States are changing their plans for lessons this week. They want to help young people make sense of the news about the violence in Washington. Karley Reising is a social studies teacher at Robert E. Fitch High School in Groton, Connecticut. "In almost every single one of my classes, the students brought it up before I even could," she said. And she added, "…my seniors were really struggling with what this meant about the future of our country in a way that was pretty heartbreaking." Reising and others said they talked about the importance of being involved with the process of government. They wanted to lead students away from the idea that there must be violence to end a political fight. Michael Neagle teaches at Lowell High School in Massachusetts. After finishing his class on Thursday, January 7, he said it was one of the most important days he had as a teacher. He wants his students to be active in civic life.
