re: Who else doesn't give a crap about Black History Month?

You have a reasonable complaint, but it is due to the rules and expectations of the job. It could be German History Month and you'd have the same problem right?

If the content was pushed as hard where a majority of the content is focused on it, absolutely. And of course here they're expected to take trips to the Muhammed Ali Center and to Stage One for plays and that's even more time out of the classroom. If parents wish to do that with their children outside of the classroom the so be it. But at this point that much time shouldn't be dedicated to one particular history month.

And that's the issue. Whether it's a week or a month's worth of content when you work in a low performing school you need every little bit geared towards the test (and I do have issues with the test as well but that's a whole other discussion).
