For CT teachers, Washington riot becomes a teaching tool
David Bosso of Berlin High School was teacher of the year in 2012.
After David Bosso saw news of the riot in Washington, D.C., unfold Wednesday, he started thinking about how he would approach the issue with the students in his high school social studies class Thursday.
“One of the things we want to do is get them ready for the world,” he said. “This is something that has to be addressed and taken seriously.”
Educators around Connecticut and the country had to abruptly reassess their classes after a mob of President Donald Trump’s supporters ransacked the nation’s Capitol Wednesday.
