I asked this question previously. A teacher in my hometown wanted her high school students to do their genealogy. One man in the town protested as he knew of some children who had things in their immediate family history that had been traumatic for the mother and one of their aunts, because of a hideous crime their grandmother commited.
The grandfather of the children thanked the man after he was successful at getting the school board to put a stop to it. He had moved his two little girls who were about 6 and 8 at the time the crime was committed from a particular school district because of the pain they sufferered.
Even if the genealogy is turned in to the teacher only, what business is it of the teacher???? Out of a class of 25, there is most likely a child that will have something in their close family history that the family wants to keep private. Do any of you think the teachers or anyone else has a right to intrude in family's private business?
