有日佢放學問：
S: how do you pledge to the flag?
M: you look at it and say the pledge.
S: how do you say the pledge?
M: I don\'t know.
S: your teacher taught you when you were in elementary school, right?
M: nope
S: why?
M: I didn\'t go to school here. Besides, I am not American.
S: oh.... Should I tell my teacher that my mommy is not American? Would she think I am adopted?
I am not against pledging to the flag at all. I am just surprised at how children can come up with answers nowadays.
And I told my co-workers about this. Their reaction is: Well... your kids were born here right? You are an American now and you should learn.
Unfortunately, I know how to sing "God saves the Queen." but not the national anthem here or china.
I don't know, still debating whether to naturalize. I am happy to be a Brit.
I\'m a public school teacher in CA. well, if you don\'t want your son to pledge the allegiance, send the home room teacher an email and inform him/her about it. It would still be a sign of respect to have your son to stand while others are saying the pledge though. 總之佢至少要乖乖地唔好喺人地pledge時搞搞震.
我唔係唔想佢pledge。對我黎講係好似發現新大陸咁啫。佢係American，我唔覺得pledge係壞事。但我唔係，佢要知道點解我唔做，同唔識點教佢。he is in catholic school, opting out is not an option. He has to pledge and ask god to bless America every morning.😊
