In our citizenship class (we are being taught to teach citizenship....only in Britain is such a concept possible!). Well yesterday we were asked to evaluate our own responses to Bloody Sunday. In the class were people of all shades of background and community. The film we watched, the issues raised ('Loss' and 'revenge') were very hard. I must admit that I think that it would be to hard for me to teach this material to 16-17 year olds, at least, not without outside help.
It was uncomfortable to be faced with material, issues, that cannot but have an emotional impact upon one. I should perhaps stick to just cooking, or writing or painting instead of this teaching lark......
