Across the US, teachers are grappling with how to discuss the complexities of the Israel-Hamas war in their classrooms. Some teachers are trying to explain the complex roots of the conflict, while others are avoiding touchy history lessons and focusing instead on students’ mental health.
Sari Beth Rosenberg was teaching a high school history class in New York City recently when a student interrupted her with a question: “Are you Team Israel or Team Palestinian?” Rosenberg had just started her lesson on the French and Indian War when the question came up. As a public-school teacher for more than two decades, Rosenberg has talked with her students about many controversial topics, including gun violence, the Ukraine-Russia war and the January 6 insurrection.
” Hoffer-Loibl says teachers shouldn’t shoulder the burden of counselling the children through war and conflict. Instead, students should be made aware of resources available to them, including school guidance counselors and off-campus mental health services, she says. “A lot of people think this isn’t impacting kids outside of the Jewish, Arab and other communities with direct ties to the region,” she told CNN.
