My wonderful 7th grader attended public school for grades K-4. Last spring, at a rooted class, she was asked to recite The Pledge of Allegiance. She is a very shy introvert tween. This was 1. embarrassing -to be singled out and 2. "Mom, we don't say it anymore and I forgot it!!"
At cub scouts and girl scouts, the kids say the pledge and then they go on to say the scout laws and such. All of which my children know. I was wrongly accused and blamed that day! To be sure she is prepared in the future, we are spending our first homeschool week going over the history of Old Glory.
I found this page on the history of the Pledge of Allegiance
