My students today asked me about my thoughts on Bin Laden's death. It was at the fore of their questions. My reply to them was that death is always a tragedy, and to glorify death makes us too much like the terrorists we fight. The kids were surprised by the answer and said that they hadn't been hearing that much. I think to use this event as a teachable moment is a great idea, and I wish I'd thought of it and hadn't waited for my students to bring it up (if only I'd read this blog before I started teaching for the day).

How nicely put. I hope your students were able to hear what you taught them. Thanks for reading and commenting.
