How I became the Childhood Dream Killer

I was looking forward for the lesson on Pocahontas and John Smith. I was excited to point out ALL the reasons why Disney's Pocahontas is wrong. In fact, on the board I titled that day's lesson: Pocahontas and John Smith: NOT LOVERS.

Cause they weren't. Pocahontas was 13 and John Smith was in his 30's. Gross.

Considering my students are about 13 years old themselves, they can truly relate to how disgusting that would have been.

Seeing their disappointed faces as they learn that everything they thought is a LIE really is fun enough, but later another teacher found this little glory (complete with illustrations):




And that's how I became known as the Childhood Dream Killer.
