Parents of some students at a Montessori school say they've opted to pull their children out after teachers showed part of the George Floyd video in the classroom without parent permission.
– Parents of some students at a Montessori school in Aurora say they’ve opted to pull their children out and will have them educated elsewhere after teachers showed part of the video ofAdministrators at Montessori del Mundo apologized to parents about last week’s incident and said they are keeping a closer eye on content shown to students.
“The team closed the session by answering student questions and discussing their reactions,” she said in the email to parents. “The intent behind this lesson was positive and in alignment with our BHM studies, however this clip was not age appropriate and should not have been shared with the children as part of this class.”
The parents communicated through a parent forum called Bloomz where they also shared that their children had been shown further riot videos with police officers shooting rubber bullets and people throwing things at buildings. “It seems like they’re trying to pretend it didn’t happen,” he said. “The only thing I can do since they’re unwilling to listen, is I need to remove my son from the situation.”
Here are the steps school staff will take to ensure parents are informed about the content of controversial or difficult topics:
