Actually, no. Many schools instruct children to not hit back. That's a fact.
You AGAIN miss the point, and lose track of what you ask. . Your question was, should a kid tell the teacher someone punched them?. Some kids settle it themselves... was my answer. Kids always make a rukus when "someone is touching me". Most 'punching' will be noticed if the teacher is worth their salt. The resource officer gets involved.

Pay attention
You still have not addressed the question. Yes or no, not 'sometimes it does not come up.'
Didn't you read my post? Study up on postmodernism. It's one of your leftist philosophical cornerstones. But it's like any of your other philosophies... you follow it if you feel like it that day, depending on the topic being discussed.
Then skim through my last post a bit better. Take note of the last series of sentences in that post (you know, the ones that included the conclusion that slavery is bad?). The difference with me saying slavery is bad and you saying it is bad is that I do not adhere to postmodernist doctrine. The left supposedly does.
That is like 8th grader explanation of relativism, a dumb 8th grader at that.

Depends. Most circumstances yes, tell the teacher. Sometime it's better to tell the resource officer. You know... You're stupidly persistent about minor issues and act like a troll.
The real facts that should be taught about slavery:
- North America only represented 3% of the entire slave trade, meaning 97% of slaves landed into the Caribbean, Central and South America.
- Over the course 341 years of the slave trade 310k were imported into North America, 40% of this number came from the Caribbean.
- The founding of the USA was the Declaration that "All men should be created equal". The colonies first needed to unite to fight off the British, then determine its laws, on what is right and wrong which included slavery. The USA needed to incorporate slave owned states to be a nation.
- 1.6% of the entire population owned slave, 98.4% of all Americans did not own slaves.
- 5% of the entire White American male population died in a war, fighting, which ended slavery.
These are sugar coated facts that white people want to portray. We need to acknowledge and teach what slavery was all about and the injustice we did to them. This is our history. It teaches us not to make the same mistakes of our past.
you're up in arms because you've allowed yourself to be led to believe there's any widespread effort to deny the existence of slavery, or to position it as a good thing for Blacks.
So you believe there is no such widespread effort, and you might be right. But I’ve been reading a lot about white parents complaining that their kids are made to feel guilty for being white. I’m afraid this is leading to “don’t teach kids about slavery, because it might make them feel guilty or uncomfortable “.
Kids should know the truth about their ancestors and the evil they embraced. It doesn’t mean they themselves have to feel guilty.
These are sugar coated facts that white people want to portray. We need to acknowledge and teach what slavery was all about and the injustice we did to them.
You mean like how slavery, KKK, and Jim Crow were all started by Southern Democrats?
Yes, stop hiding this fact. Or that fact that there would not be 50 million modern black Americans without the importation of 220K Africans. Yes, let’s stop hiding this fact.
Or the fact that African chiefs enslaved and captured it’s own people, to be sold to Europeans. Yup, can’t forget that one.
Or the fact that Democrats want to white wash their own embarrassing history of the Confederacy. Nope, we cannot forget that part of history. Those statues must stand tall. Those who forget history are bound to repeat it.

All of it needs to be taught, the facts, the horror, the pain, the truth. Like any family that has a sorted past, that alone doesn't negate the good of who we are as a nation.
Beyond the religious aspect... Even Jesus has a sorted family. Didn't matter. We learn, we grow, we move on.

We may want to rethink (verb tense) how history is being taught --- population of 40 million enslaved individuals today in a multi-billion dollars industry; we've moved on to the point that, they don't exist.
